Jeppe (2633) - Ølbutikken, DENMARK - AUG 16, 2004
Golden colored beer with a foamy white head. Weak aroma, slightly hoppy. Hoppy and flowery flavor with something undefineable in the finish.

Bottle: Pale yellow pour slightly bright. fluffy white head and drippy lace. Definite grainy corn like aroma that I have come to despise. Malty, corn flakes, and light hop flavor.

04.11.05 12oz alumibottle ’thanks’ to Eyedrinkale. For god’s sake Mike, what did I do to deserve this? I mean, I thought we were pals? I shared a 20 year old Liefman’s Kriek with you and you thank me with this corn soup?

okay, that’s outta my system...lol
Pale straw pour looks like a hundred other beers out there; big white head fades. Aroma is cornflakes. I’d swear there are no hops before I even sip the stuff. Not much taste al all other than more corn flakes. True, it’s not very good. The bottle was cool; I guess the high average score is a sentimental vote.

NobleSquirrel (2570) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 19, 2005
Another poor beer. Fizzy, little/no hop character. Somehow manages a bit of skunk, even though it’s an aluminum bottle. Tasted like dirty dish water and look thin and weak.

473 ml can. Typical swill. A bit more muted than the average BMC, more watered down.

Terminus (2538) - Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA - NOV 21, 2004
UPDATED: MAR 23, 2005 Keith-Well, for a heap lager I guess its ok. Metal "bottle" caught my eye. This beer is light on aroma and head. The taste is also weak with a hint of sweetness brought on by the malt. You get what you think you are going to get on this one.

Walt (2448) - Austin, Texas, USA - NOV 24, 2005
Pour is lively golden yellow with a tight dense off white head...smell is sour and grainy...taste is skunky...thin bodied...I can’t wait for the IC Light which is on deck!
