Indra (1845), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Jun 23, 2008 12oz. can. Lightly sweet, doughy malt aroma, very slight touches of spicy, herbal hop and citrus here and there. Lightly hazy light-medium golden color with an initially foamy head that subsided. Flavor is primarily comprised of that same cereal-like, gently sweet pale maltiness found in the nose, although there is also a light degree of peppery, snappy hop bitterness towards the finish, seeing a touch of dryness enter the picture and ultimately leaving a fair bit of lingering malt character and lemony citrus behind. Palate is pretty thin with a moderately high degree of effervescence and a light-medium body. Light it is indeed, but certainly not flavorless or disagreeable. I also used the other half a can for beer can chicken last night and it worked well. Actually purports to be a Helles style, which I wouldn’t disagree with.
BMan1113VR (919), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Oct 12, 2008 A very decent beer. Pours with a largish, rocky, white head and a clear yellow body. Pretty decent lacing. Aroma of hops, [sweet] bread, and grassy hops. Not bad tasting by any standards, doughy and grassy hops. a bit fizzy. m4rest88 (79), Beverly Hills, California, USA Oct 12, 2008 Pours with a murky golden hue with a white head that is mostly diminishing.
The aroma is of citrus, grass, and bread - good amount of hops as well.
The beer has a clean start, flavor wise, then has a bready finish taste that lingers in the mouth for quite some time.
Light mouthfeel, with lively carbonation.
Good beer, and in my opinion deserving of a mark higher than 2.99. steview (783), Oceanside, California, USA Oct 4, 2008 can: fizzy, tinny, and creamy; sweet buttery corn; light; this is only okay. shrubber85 (2591), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Sep 28, 2008 Can. Slightly sweet strong barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color wtih moderate head. Sweet corn and barley malt flavor. Decent lager but just a bit on the sweet side - would have liked it much better if it were a bit drier. brokephibroke (54), , Colorado, USA Sep 8, 2008 Great can. Contents were good also, smooth and best enjoyed poolside. Really enjoyed this can, but need to review again when I get another can in in Colorado!
