This is not a bad beer, it’s 60% in its style, but why go through all the trouble of dressing up the bottle so pretty just to put a below avg. beer in it?

In the bottle at the HyVee Oktoberfest beer tasting in Council Bluffs. Pours pale yellow with a white head. Lots of rice flavor here. Even though it was in a green bottle, it was not skunked at all! Mild and nearly flawless. Semi-boring as no hops appear to be present. Fairly plain beer.

Bottle. Pours light golden with little head. Aroma os grasses, sweetness, and hay. Flavor is surpriningly decent- I must admit I was expecting nothing from this. Hoppy, sweetish, and lightly lemon.

Bottle: Pours a straw color with a thin white head, light grains and fruits in the aroma, thin bodied with mellow carbonation, starts lightly bitter and ends lightly sweet with a grainy ending.

At Thousand Crane - Cold 11.2 oz bottle: Pours a clear, deep golden color with a small amount of alabaster bubbles, mostly around the edges. Aroma is of rich malts and aromatic hops with lemon notes. Taste is of rich malts blended with hops bitterness, caramel, lemon and spice. Light bodied and smooth with playful carbonation. Ending is sweet, grainy and effervescent.

500. Thanks, BitBucket Jr.! Can’t beat the ultra-cool packaging. Huge skunky aroma as soon as the cap comes off. Pours somewhere between dark straw and light amber. Lots of surging carb that disappears; so too does the fizzy white head disappear. Skunky in the glass and the light-struck notes carry through to the palate. Some vegetal notes and a whisper of fusel alcohol.

Bottle. Sour corn/barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Very light barley malt flavor but surprisingly more hops in the finish than I would have thought. Another watery bland lager.

Bottle...pale, pale golden color...nice thick foam on pour..aroma has much to be desired...just smells like a common beer...only been a few minutes and foam is already dissipating...palate is thin and light...taste is nothing much... a beer; just an ordinary lager...wanted to try it because ive never seen it in Jerzee and the packaging was snazzy...well, its not undrinkable but this will be my last bottle...(unless of course a friend offers it to me at their house...I wouldn’t want to be rude now)...:)...whoo hoo! I made the rating change from 9 to 8!!!
