| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 12, 2007 Updated: Aug 20, 2007its like a lager but much sweeter and with a great finish, the hoppiness comes through along with notes of fruit and caramel nearbeer (1887), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 7, 2007 Draft, Cleveland airport. Pours a clear amber with a smallish, trying to hang head. Aroma is inoffensive, and actually sort of nice for a lager - sweetish malty. Taste is not bad either. Body is light medium with a slightly dryish palate. Slight sour and refreshing dry note on finish is nice. radiomgb (2076), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 5, 2007 Murky golden in colour, lingering white coloured head, no lacing. The aroma is of cookie and bready malts, very light caramel sweetness, some apples. The flavour is a bit stale, pale malts, bready, herbal and grassy. Mildly bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes fairly quick, watery, lightly bitter. This is way past its prime I’m afraid.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 5, 2007 Clear amber/gold, thin white head. Lightly spicy aroma, something like what you might find in a Heineken. Tastes okay, but nothing exciting. Some hops, slightly metallic. Not strictly bad, but does little to dispel the perception that lagers are boring. hopson (596), Williamsville, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 30, 2007 this is a beer you give to friends who drink typical mass marketed american lagers in order to introduce them to a far superior product that is not too far from what they are used to. well made lager, interesting sweetness balanced well with a crisp hop finish. Great brewery. apingos (77), Rockford, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 24, 2007 sample at the Chicago Green Fest. Im new at this beer rating stuff, but of all the beers I ever had I would rate this as one of the best. Excellent balance! with a smooth finish, what more could you want. If taste is the messure, this beer has a great future in the Illinois, wisconsin, Minnesota market. CheersBabe (62), USA
