Reid (1385) - Salem,Oregon, Oregon, USA - OCT 30, 2010
Bought at ’Lifesource" Salem. 12 oz single. Apperance is actually good for this type of lager light golden with a half inch thick creamy,frothy white head..that actually sticks around. Aroma however is the usual sour corn mash cardboard mess!! Taste is better than the aroma..the corn is there in abundance but mt so sour and the malts actually seem nice and present.Nice semi sweet finish. Good on the palate, that is above average for style. Goes down well.\Overall a nice American lager..reminds me a bit of Full Sail’s Session..simple traditional American beer.

weihenweizen (633) - West Virginia, USA - OCT 4, 2010
Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with little head, little lacing, low carbonation, and very little aroma. Taste is light malt mostly corn and finishes with a hint of hops. Taste is not bad, it could be a good session beer.

Leighton (3595) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 28, 2010
Bottle. Pours a clear, apple juice-gold with a bare, white head. Ligt malt, corn and apple aroma. Swee flavor with faint dough and some light fruits. Light to medium in body with fizzy carbonation. Crisp and sharp in the finish, with some lingering apple notes. Light dryness. Not bad.

Birdiebeagle (958) - Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 11, 2010
Bottle at Pimanti Bros. With the sandwich Pittsburgh tradition. Pours clear gold with fluffy white head. Aroma is grainy. The taste is okay. Just typical mass produced pale lager. Refreshing and did it job.

pours a light yellow color, with a fluffy white head. the aroma is grain, yeast, and not much else. the flavor is little to none. and for what there is, its grain.. i think its is comparable to pbr. overall, this is not that great (iron $hity)

Pale straw pour. The nose is fairly sweet with a bit of corn aroma. Bland, boring and not very good at all.

At this point in my beer quest I guess I got this to get a rating. I also think that was a bad reason. This is just not good. Clear yellow fast leaving white head. Skunky scent. Fizzy corn taste. It is not drainpour but it will be my one and only.........

12oz Can - 99 Bottles – Federal Way, WA
Golden in color, clear with a thick fluffy head. Served ice cold this just like those everyday college beers we have all had. Nothing special just a good cold need that beer. Nice malt flavor no hops and a dry finish.
