Clear light golden or straw in color with white bubbly head that is mostly a ring. Sweet biscuity malt scent, slightly fruity with light floral hops over carbonic whiffs. Pretty aggressively carbonated which stings the tongue, but less so than a macro all-malt. Smooth and crisp, well-balanced lager. Actually not too bad, despite everything the appearance and aroma tell me. Slightly sweet and roasty, biscuity malt flavor that is balanced by a hop bitterness that builds towards the finish and is actually quite bitter, almost pilsner-like. Surprisingly, this stuff isn’t bad! I would actually drink this stuff again.

Slightly cloudy and yellow in color. Very nice straw aroma with a hint of flowers and citrus. Crisp sweet malt flavor that finishes clean. A nice session brew.

Pours a golden hazy amber with a thinner white head. Nice hop aroma with some malt in the background. Nice touch of hops to this beer, I wasn’t expecting it but I’m not complaining about it. Nice crisp finish. Good brew.

Crisp very hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish white head and a bunch of bubbles rising from the sides of the glass. Aroma of fresh hops, grass, yeast, wheat and a little sweetness. Medium-bodied; Strong malt up front with a spicey flavour and a potent malt backbone - a touch of hops near the finish. Aftertaste shows some pepper and a mostly malt finish. Overall, a nice and refreshing, clear and subtle finish with a good potent taste up front. I can’t say too much bad about this beer - it isn’t amazing, but isn’t bad in any respect! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased on my 27th birthday, 30-June-2008 at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia, sampled on 21-September-2008.

(Bottle) Thanks to Enniskillen for leaving these behind. Pours a thin, dissipating white frothy head atop a clear, well carbonated golden body. Nose of straw with mild undertones of corn. Fairly typical lager, a tad more corn than the sometimes lemon zest finish but good overall. 6/3/6/2/12

12 oz, bottled May 08. Clear, golden-amber with a creamy, lasting quarter-inch head and lots of lace. Aroma of spicy honey and dry grass. Tastes of orange, honey, dry grain, resin and grass. Light-medium body is smooth and lightly carbonated, with a dry tingly finish.
