2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This one is ok. Its just a basic pale lager without much to it. It doesnt have that creepy sour taste to it that many lagers do, which is great.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
16 ounce can, best before October 7, 2012. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a clear golden/amber color with an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing is both good. Aroma is grainy malt, and grassy and citrusy (orange peel, grapefruit) hops. Taste is pretty much just like the aroma, but the bitter hops stand out a little bit more in comparison to the aroma. The flavors also seem a bit stronger than the aroma would lead you to think. Mouthfeel/body is light, it’s a bit slick and very easy to drink. Good carbonation. I think this is a good summer brew (and good brew overall). I keep hoping New Belgium will distribute to Ohio in the near future....

Nice citrusy floral hoppy lager. Nice color and I like the pint cans instead of bottle.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Can. Pours clear golden, full white foam head. Aroma is a nice mix of floral, fruit, bread, and pine. Taste is mild to medium sweet. Body is light, carbonation on the lighter side, thin texture, light bitter finish. I think this is a very well done lager.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This poured a golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma was nice citrusy and herbal hops, and some toasted malt. Flavor was much the same, not very bitter, but nice rounded hop flavor with some caramel and toasted malt. Well balanced and refreshing, great lawnmower beer.

Sampled on 6/21/2012. This Premium Lager pours a medium orange gold color from a 16oz can. Medium to large sized white foamy head, with nice retention and good lacing. The aroma is grassy, fruity and floral with some cereal and malt. A medium bodied Premium Lager. The malts are cereal and grainy with some caramel and fruit. The hops are floral and spicy. Decent carbonation. A light and refreshing lager. Crisp and clean with some nice hop flavors. A lighter beer, great for a session ale on the hot summer day. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some bitterness.

On tap at New Belgium Brewery on 6/12/12. Pours golden yellow with a nice white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet with citrus and hops. Very good pale lager.
2.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours like a pale lager, yellow, but this has much more head. Not much on the nose... Definitely more of a hoppy flavor than a typical pale lager. Not bad..
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very good everyday beer. Crisp, hoppy brew on the nose and palate. Not overly hopped, which was greaty appreciated. Took these straight from an ice cold can and noted this makes a classier yard beer than most I favor.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The beer pours a golden orange color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of resin and orange citrus from the hops, as well as some biscuit. The flavor also has a good amount of bitterness. I get some lightly toasted malt, as well as some pine, resin and orange citrus. There is also some biscuit malt. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
