3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle sampled at jeffc666’s B-day gathering 2/6/05: Pale orange color with a small white head. I noted honey, wheat, caramel, and lemon in the aroma - not what I would expect when I see this is billed as having Saaz for the aroma. Taste is sweet, with notes of honey coated malt, metal, and spice. Light bodied and thin.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled at jeffc666’s gathering. Aroma of creamed corn, spent grain and some fruitness. Taste is very light with notes of grain, lemon and some faint hops. Faint notes of corn in the aftertaste. Body is light and thin. Drinkable.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured a dark gold color with a medium sized white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of dry straw, buttery malt, and a very light citrus. Corny maltiness, very sweet, faint light hoppiness. A very light bock, that I would pass on next time.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Here’s one I’ve missed in trades. Thanks Joe (marinaro500) for the bottle. Clear straw body, thin off-white head. Aroma of honey-glazed toast. The body is surprisingly light and sweet with honey, biscuits, and an earthy, grassy hops finish. There are few beers where all of the components are so distinct individually.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. A fair little bock. Clean smelling and tasting. Light scents of malt and honey with some hop. Clear amber color. Small white head. Light tasting, malty with just a touch of honey. A decent session brew.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Out of the bottle this brew pours a glowing honey/gold with a fizzy white head. Very sweet honey kick to the aroma, slightly fruity, with a faint hopping. This brew has a ton of sweet honey in the thick malty body. Lightly fruity, with a decent balance, smooth on the palate and a thick body. Great sweet lager.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 4, 2005 The body is a gold and slightly orange body. The head is thin and white. Intense aroma of back pepper, honey, and over ripe pears. The body is light and playful with carbonation and a slick, greasy finish. The taste is that springiness that I always seem to notice with Saaz hops. It is honey sweet with a minty finish. Also has some strange hay in the back of the mouth. Interesting but a little too sweet.
