mjg74 (2106) - La Mesa, California, USA - JUL 31, 2005
Bottled. Pours a light golden color. Aroma is like that of sweet canned corn. Sweet and malty. The finish ipretty watery, but overall it isn’t really all that bad considering what it is.

guzzler67 (1373) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - FEB 28, 2007
Clear yellow appearance with a small white head. Grassy, mild malt aroma, light on the hops, slightly vegatal. Clean, crisp taste, fairly dry, with a short lived finish. Just don’t let it warm up. Preferrable to a BMC.

jimhilt (2112) - Bow, New Hampshire, USA - NOV 16, 2004
Pours with a white head that fades quickly, leaving no lace. Light carbonation. Clear amber color, light bodied. Nose is a faint apple. Starts malty, hops are in the background, finishes with hints of apple/lemon. 95¢ for a 12 oz bottle from Vintage Cellar Blacksburg, VA.

thegreenrooster (2438) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - JUL 3, 2004
I bought this for the cheese value alone. Plesantly suprised! It yellow with the big fizzy white head of course. Flavor is actually quite tame. Not great mind you but its a better lager than BMC. Had a very small touch of hops and no real bitterness. Go ahead and try it.

rederic (2269) - montréal, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 25, 2005
Aluminium bottle, bright golden color, with a shy foamy white head, clean pale malt, light floral hops aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate, pale malt, sweet toasted grains, and floral hops, leading towards a slightly metallic hops finish.

ExSpectator (65) - Cleveland, Ohio, USA - DEC 24, 2006
UPDATED: SEP 20, 2007 12 oz aluminum bottle. Golden yellow pour with small white head. Aroma is faint, flavor is better than your typical large commercial brewer stuff, but weak for a smaller brewery. Good deal for the price though.

Collint (475) - Sylva, North Carolina, USA - NOV 27, 2009
Bottle, pours a clear beer with pretty much no head. Aroma is grassy malt and no hops. Flavor is clean malty light grass taste. Light bitter finish, a great session beer!
