Very malty beer. Little to no hop aroma. Clean smooth finish. Very clean appearance but no head. Above average lager.

mikey (504) - farmington, Utah, USA - MAY 20, 2013
The nose is very clean with slight notes of grain and grass. The tastes follows suit with notes of bread and grain, light herbs and a little bite of hops to even things out. Mouthfeel is pretty good and refreshing. A very nice light-bodied lager.

Lagerboy (670) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 18, 2013
Clear citrus yellow, small white head mostly lasts. Lightly sweet, firm malty lager aroma and taste, some foral, citrus and spicy lava notes, light bitterness. Average carbonation, light bodied, low hopped. Refreshing. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)

Bottle that Miko brought me from Hawaii. Thanks a lot! Pours mostly clear light yellow with thin white head. Aroma is floral, hoppy and slightly malty. Flavor is dry bitter, hops, hint of grass and malt. Quite light in taste. Very dry aftertaste.

This was a very smooth beer that could be drank all day. Nice maltiness with a small hop character. Very light mouthfeel.

MiP (12145) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 14, 2013
Bottle, 4.6%. Weak malty aroma, fresh-ground pepper? Clear shiny golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is quite malty, like a Bavarian lager. Not very bitter, only a little aroma hop to go with the not too unpleasant paper finish. Clean, but not crisp.

Bamsen78 (819) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 14, 2013
Bottle. Pours clear pale straw with airy white head. Cleararoma of hops and yeast with a subtle skunky note. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of pepper and citrus, ending dry. Might be good on the beach in Hawaii, but I’ve never been there.

A thoroughly enjoyable, tasty lager. Has a delightful fizz and a fantastic palate of wheat and malt. Definitely worth another bottle.

sonnycheeba (1907) - Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - MAY 8, 2013
Keg pour during Annapolis 5K beer run. Pours pale yellow/gold with thin, fizzy white head. Faint aroma with bland cracker and biscuit malts along with faint hops and a touch of toast. Flavor is sweet, bready malts throughout with a little bit of spicy hops; dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.
