Jul 10, 2008 Bottle from matt7215. Thank you Matt! Slightly hazy yellow pour with a medium fizzy head. Pour retention and lacing. Slightly bitter grassy aroma. Taste is grass, grain and a sour fruitiness, not quite citrus. Medium body. Definitely flavor for a pale lager!

Jun 1, 2008 Updated: Jun 10, 2008Clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grainy, fruity and sweet. Flavour has a noticeable citrus tinge (oranges). Very clean tasting and easy to drink. Short, grainy finish with a little orange peel. A good session lager on its own merits, the low price makes it an exceptional one.

Jan 24, 2008 Bottle from the brewery- Pours into the snifter, a gold sparkling body. Head is frothy but short lived, leaving little lace. The aroma is quite grassy, and full of lemon zest, with subtle malts and hay. This is very fresh and full of lemon and biscuit malt flavours, with malty sweetness with a good hop bite towards the finish. Spritzy, assertive bubles. A very good pale lager bordering on pils territory. If I were a local, i’d be all over this one all the time.

Nov 27, 2007 Bottle (341ml). Via trade with Matt7215. Some bubble, tiny fizzy white head, but this clear liquid looks pretty pale and wan to me. Mild aroma, light grain (not too stale), faint weedy hops, as usual, too sweet. The taste is sweet and grainy, so that’s a plus, but I get a weird tang that stays on my tongue a long time - PVC or fresh hay - but recently dusted with pesticide. Fairly thick body, it didn’t slide down like water, that’s for sure, nice and carvbonated and a good malt body to it for a paleager/pils - nothing special, but like all the beers by these guys, clean and no adjuncts I can detect - the pvc character faded as it warmed too.

Sep 21, 2007 Updated: Jun 23, 2008341 ml bottle. pours golden yellow with a big pure white head. lots of tiny bubbles stream off the sides of the glass to keep that white head with you as you drink. aromas are crisp citris and a tiny bit of chewy breadish malt. taste is a little bakery sweetness with citris and some grassyness. medium body, very refreshing and drinkable. would be great with spicy dishes.
