Jan 17, 2008 I must confess that I don’t understand the previous six ratings. My only explanation is that what I got from the tap at the bar had barley that came from the wrong half of the acre. Looked fine, a deep golden body with a substantial head. Smelled off, soured pale malt with a whiff of grassy bitterness. Tasted off, some bready malt, an odd sourness and metallica, but at least had a solidly bitter finish. I’ll pass on this in the future. Sheffield’s, Chicago, IL

Oct 18, 2007 Murky orangish color with a big rocky off white head. Malty nose with hints of bread, honey and orange. Orange peel, caramel sweetness, some lightly toasted bread, with a long citrus hop finish. More flavorful than your average premium lager. At $9.99 a six pack in Chicago I don’t know as how I’d ever buy it again.

Jan 14, 2008 12 oz bottle, via jsquire. Pours a hazy orangish body with a small fizzy off-white head that faded to a thin film quickly. The nose is bready and lightly toasted malt. The flavor is slightly sweet with toasted malt and a slight almost rye bread like earthiness. Finishes with a fairly bright citrusy hop bite. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a watery texture and fizzy forced carbonation. Overall, nothing special, but well above what I was expecting from it. It really has the hopping level of an APA or some of the lighter IPAs.

Feb 6, 2008 12 oz. bottle via trade with jsquire - Pours a hazy amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is very light malt and herbal hops. Faint soapiness too. Flavor has an odd maltiness to it. Medium body. To be honest, I’m not getting much Lager character from this beer. It is somewhat smooth, but not real palatable. It’s just an odd beer. Thanks Jeff.
