Braudog (4607) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - DEC 21, 2002
Invitingly bright golden beer with nice head. Sweet malty aroma. Very good grainy malt flavoring with hint of citrus edge. Very nice.

jayme9874 (756) - Hamburg, New York, USA - NOV 14, 2002
Clear, light golden, quickly dissapating head . Nose of clean malt. Very clean, drinkable, refreshing with a subtle hop bite. Balanced, well crafted but bland.

Oakes (10215) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 3, 2002
Full gold; lots of malt on the nose. Ditto the palate, with a good dose of Lublin hops. Feels like drinking a nice Franconian hell and then a soft, Bohemian-esque hit of hops (albeit Lublin) comes in. Nicely balanced.

daboskabouter (1470) - Fergus, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 3, 2002
Golden, little lace. Aroma is pilsner-esque, light hops. Sweet/candyish malt presence that I find unpleasant. Good hoppy finish. Good pils.

Aurelius (3147) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - SEP 28, 2002
Mild and pretty smooth drinking. Light malt nose. Very pale yellow. Fizzy, with a tart/tangy finish that turns tinny -- makes you want to spit after a while. An odd, somehow darkish yeast presence under the whole thing.

Great beer but I had to re-rate since my beer exp went up few levels. I love the creamy mid hopy taste with great drinkability .

SJP (483) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 29, 2002
Ugly clear yellow color, with an aroma that reminds me of the American macros. Mild flavor, making it easy to drink, Not terribly exciting, but good on a hot day to clean the palate. This is also one of the few beers that I’ve been able to finish before it gets warm while eating, but that’s just me.
