3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 doubelknv3 (657) - Illinois, USA - SEP 5, 2010
Grain, lite spice, and mild earthy aroma. Golden with lasting white head. Sweet malt with lemon hop balance. Crisp and refreshing.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 popery (1014) - San Francisco, California, USA - JUN 7, 2010
Light golden liquid with a rich tone. A nice white lager head sits atop. A tad sweet without quite enough crispness. I can smell some fairly dry yeast, but there are some sweet fruit notes that I don’t really care for on this style. It’s certainly not a bad beer, but the sweetness needs to be toned down. There could be a bit more spicy hop bite and clean grain flavor of a good pilsener. Anyway, the malt is biscuity and pretty good. Good, clean mouthfeel to start, but it gets a tad grainy. Good beer but a bit forgettable.

Bottle from ZindeHey, thanks. Golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of noble hops, tortilla chips and corn. Did someone sneak a miller in this bottle? Taste of malt, mild floral hops, faint honey and lemon, blah city. Finishes up kind of unpleasant.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 EHopper (427) - Minnesota, USA - MAR 28, 2009
Smooth, hint of sweetness and linen, a bit of belgian fruitiness. Very light and easy to drink with simply grains and hops. Probably don’t need to try again buy again.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 marchcow (664) - Coralville, Iowa, USA - MAR 2, 2009
Sweet honey lemon aromas with a malty backdrop. Golden yellow with a thick foamy head. Flavor is haylike with a citrus touch, some honey, a little cookie. Sweet and bitter flavors balance well. Incredibly light. Carbonation is medium. Easy to drink and refreshing. Probably a great summer beer but this is March, so it makes me look forward to warmer weather. Very good for a pilsener.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - FEB 6, 2009
12 ounce bottle brought to me from Wisconsin by a friend. Pours a clear golden color with a thin head. Very bready aroma with some subtle grassy notes. Taste is sweet malts, bread, grassy and bitter hops. Medium bodied. Very nice.

Bottle shared by emacgee. Thanks Ethan. Poured golden with a small white head. Good beer, but I wish it was a bit more spritzy and dry. Dominated by doughy malts and spicy hop bitterness. I guess I wanted to like this more for some reason.

Thanks TheCheeseMan for the extra. Pours a soft amber gold with a one finger frothy head. The nose is bready, sweet, malty, mild grassy hops, clean lager character. The flavor is pretty upfront bready malt, sweet, light bitterness, hay, very smooth lager feel. Nice smooth palate with a mild bitterness.
