BelgianBeerGal (2104) - Dayton Area, Ohio, USA - MAR 10, 2008
Bottled. Average but certainly drinkable. No bad comments but it just looked, smelled and tasted like most mass-produced pale lagers.

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 17, 2008
This lighter bodied brew is noticeably grainy. pours a golden-orange colour with a pretty weak head. Taste is lighter, sort of chewy, but skunked in aroma.

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - JUL 8, 2008
20.3 oz green bottle-A clear yellow with a loose two finger head. Aroma of sweetness, citrus, and floral. Taste of nothing but sweetness and corn with a floral finish. Better than expected.

I’m going to get a little zen on you here. What is the rating for a beer that has no real flavor? Is it like the sound of one hand clapping? Perhaps this beer is inspired by such David Caradine, Kung-Fu hoopla. Pass.

Bottle. Pour is a golden color with a bit of a white head and aromas that at first are kind of skunky hops and later fade to adjunct malt. Flavor has a bit of a Heineken feel to it with the hops presence and then gives way to sweet adjunct that bordes on nastiness.
