hoppopotamus (182), Santa Cruz, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 Looks like slightly cloudy Heineken. There is a bit of fruity hops in the aroma and perhaps a hint of some belgiany yeastiness or breadiness. The flavor is uninteresting, a touch of caramel malt. I thought this was a lager until I read the label more carefully. Pretty piss poor. Beaver (588), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Sep 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with big yeasties and a frothy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet musty soapy bready malts.
The flavor is pretty bland - a little sweet malt and a touch of fruits with a little grassy bitterness that leads to a dry finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and watery with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, a pretty bland offering from GD. There’s nothing offensive, but nothing really appealing about it either.
fiver29 (703), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Sep 27, 2008 Bottle pours light golden and cloudy with a white head. Head dissipates fast. Has a slight aroma that doesn’t really remind me of anything. Its not real interesting. Has a light body and mouthfeel. Taste is not that impressive. Light beer flavor that is more watery than beer. Overall this is boring beer and not very inspiring. mcsquint (93), , Missouri, USA Sep 25, 2008 Pours a clear yellow color which is a bit surprising considering it’s supposed to be unfiltered. Nice creamy white head. Aroma of light malt, hops and lemon. Has an ale taste with the crispness of a Japanese lager. Clean, slightly hoppy finish. Very drinkable. ZeidleBrew (8), , Connecticut, USA does not count Sep 25, 2008 A classic example of a beer’s name being the only thing it has going for it. The sweet rice undertone was a pleasant surprise, but overall the beer was thin, the aroma was flat and the flavor just wasn’t there... more aftertaste than taste. smjohnst (202), , Pennsylvania, USA Sep 18, 2008 Slight hoppy smell to it. Straight yellow in color. It almost tasted like a belgian. Half decent for a summer beer but nothing to write home about. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Sep 12, 2008 (Draft) Pours a hazy yellow body with a medium-sized creamy white head. Aroma of mustiness, sticky rice, wheat, and light floral/perfume. Flavor of cardboard, brown rice, lemon, and grain with a watery mouthfeel. topherh (892), Kearney, Missouri, USA Sep 10, 2008 pours hazy golden with a modest white head. aroma is sweet. flavor is sweet with some grassy hops.
