cheapdark (1605), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 27, 2007 Updated: Dec 31, 2007 Decent bready yeast aroma, rather attractive. Surprisingly free of skunk. Slight hazy appearance, otherwise ubiquitous pale yellow amercan lager in appearance. Has a decently clean flavor with little hop bitterness. Non offensive an well mannered. Good amount of average fizz in the carbonation, but could use more. Finish is easy to enjoy, perhaps a nice session brew. Best premium lager to date for me.
ucusty (1213), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Oct 5, 2008 Hazy gold pour fluffy white head and drippy lace. Pine hops on the nose. Floral hops, honey and a clean dry finish wheelz843 (34), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Oct 2, 2008 bottle. has a bit of a pine aroma. clear yellow in color with a qucik dissolving head. has a bit of a nutty taste with very little aftertaste. porterhouse (951), Alna, Maine, USA Sep 16, 2008 (330 ml bottle from Bootlegger’s) Pours hazy gold with a big pillowy white head. Aroma is a bit honeyish and malty with some pine, dishrag and sweat. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth, slightly prickly with a decent amount of heft. Lots of foamy patches of lacing. Flavor is lightly honeyish and malty with a light-medium bitter presence emerging toward finish. Not a bad lager. 1FastSTi (2402), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Aug 5, 2008 Pours to a glowing flat yellow body with a tall, lasting frothy white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is very strong and smells of hops that are floral and honeysuckle like. Some dry yeasts. Smells kind of like a Kolsh. Some straw. The flavor is clean and crisp lager yeasts and floral hops. A touch watery. The palate is sweet, clean, easy drinking. Bitter on the finish. Slightly mouthwatering. Nicely made and an easy summer beer. I don’t see how so many people are hating on this one. Beerman6686 (780), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 29, 2008 POured a weak golden color with a white head. Aroma of corn and malt. Taste is much the same, not too much to say here.
