mmm///beer (578), Austin, Texas, USA Sep 28, 2008 12 oz. can in trade from RCL- thank you! Served in flute- poured slightly cloudy thin golden yellow, lively carbonation of tiny bubbles, impressive one finger white head formed, displayed some lacing, and retained. Aroma of wheat backed malt, yeast, and hops. Hits the mouth with a thin body, the malt is there but it really doesn’t stand out, some water in the middle, finish of hops, crispness and a slight sweet note. Looks are decieving... PhillyBeer2112 (1861), Orange Park, Florida, USA Sep 25, 2008 I really wanted to rate this more highly but after 2 samples, and certainty over the second one’s freshness, I can’t say I love it. Pale gold color. Dirty and soapy nose. (is that an oxymoron?) Touches of sulfur and spucy hop in the flavor. Malts are grainy. Finish has a light bitterness otherwise pretty empty. hopscotch (4588), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Sep 13, 2008 Can... Clear yellow lager with a huge, frothy, white head. Great retention. Peppery, spicy, saaz hop-type aroma with lesser notes of toffee and honey. Medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel with tingly carbonation. Bittersweet... a little more sweet than bitter. Short, crisp, mildly sweet finish. jgb9348 (1848), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Aug 12, 2008 Crisp slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice sized slightly off-white head. Aroma of fresh lemons, yeast, fresh malt and a slight dose of hops. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent malt flavour with some shallow sugars and a small set of german hops, coupled with a tiny metallic twang. Aftertaste shows mostly malt with a good citrus finish. Overall, a good fresh beer that settles well in the mouth and in the stomach, especially in the summer! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased on 12-July-2008 at Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York, sampled on 12-August-2008. kyzr (962), Belgrade, Montana, USA Aug 5, 2008 Can from mcbackus. Pours a thicker bright yellow with nice fluffy white head. Nose is yeasty with floral hints. Flavor is bready with hints of hops that leave a little dry bitterness on the palate. Finish is crisp with a bite of hops.
