Clear light gold without much head. Nose of pale biscuity malts, light toast. Biscuity lager flavor of cereal malts, toast, finishing a little sweet and malty. Baseline lager, neither bad nor good. Doesn’t require much thought.

Golden blond coloured beer with light carbonation and a short white head. Short hoppy sweet aroma. Medium sweet palate. Finish is short sweet hoppy hinted with a rather short ending. Nothing special.

TPSA. Pours a bright gold with a good creamy head. Nose is clean and fruity, and has overtones of nuts -- almonds. Delicious lager -- nutty, clean, roasty, and enough hops bitterness to make it work. Great finish.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Cracker and bread aromas. Crisp and malty with a mild bitter finish.

Seems to be a local favorite. I must say, these Pacific North-Westerners really appreciate their beer. The least I have seen are a few PBR’s, other than that, lots of respect for micro-brews.

Pours a a pale straw yellow with little head which is white. Muted aroma of malt. Light taste with low bitterness. Smooth palate. Exactly what the label says, a nice session beer with enough to make it go with simple food.

[Bottle] Clear straw to golden appearance, moderate head formation. Grainy,slightly winey aroma. Dry, grainy palate, minimal flavor, decent amount of hop bite in the finish. Decent, but unimaginitve lager.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 GT2 (3970) - Washington DC, USA - MAY 22, 2011
11oz Red Stripe style bottle. The pour is a clear straw with wildly heavy carbonation generating a small, pillowy, white head. Okay retention. No lace. Nose is light classic DMS (corn in this case), husky grain, tamale, Taste is quite nice. Classic corn heavy but no diacetyl, no other vegetal DMS, no metals, no soap. Just simple earthy malt and farmy grain with a good dose of grain flakes, cream of wheat, Palate is full and slightly oily. Very nice stuff! I usually would rate a beer with a 5 for nose and 7 for taste a 12 overall. But I’m giving this 14 overall because this is really well done and true to style. No brewing flaws. This is truly a session lager. Nice job!

12 oz. - This was my first session. Drank from bottle so no color recorded. Light beer aroma, taste seemed to be missing something, and ok on palate. Average overall.
