puboflyons (1111) - Allenstown, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 22, 2008
From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours a golden color with almost no head but a continual supply of carbonation. That’s rather an oxymoron. Aroma of roasted malts. Thin mouth feel. Taster is kind of grassy and bready with some vague hops. I do enjoy trying the classic names from time to time even though they’re rarely top of the line. But it’s drinkable enough.

Stubby Pint bottle. Very traditional macro lager, remarkable only for the metallic (iron, eh?) flavor. Not too good.

fata2683 (2066) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - SEP 16, 2008
Bottle....pours light yellow with a small head. Tastes like a watered down beer. Very little taste, next to no bitterness. Crisp and clean finish.

I drank alot of this stuff when I lived in Pittsburgh. Pretty much a terrible beer with a cult like following. But still, when you understand that it’s a true lager, you start to understand that it’s not all that bad. One notch above other mass produced flagship beers.

branspra (293) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - SEP 2, 2008
Bottle (aluminum). Light yellow color with minimal hop taste. Flavor is suprisingly better than most mass-produced lagers, although light on the bitter side. I would drink this over Bud, Miller, and Coors on any day.

Kaizen666 (16) - , New York, USA - AUG 28, 2008
Bottle. Piss yellow with a terrible excuse for a head. Tastes and smells like I had sex with a 90 year old women who died six hours earlier. I’m sure if you poured this over grass your lawn would brown wilt and after a few hours.

Clear yellow pour with a good foamy head that actually lasts a while. Corn and grain in the aroma and flavor, with a noticable touch of hops. Better than most macro’s.
