Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of chrisv10. Pours a hazy dep golden with a white head. Malty nose - which it is clearly not! Medium body, lightly caramellish and biscuity with a solid hop bite. Very decent. 060413
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a slight white head. Aroma of bread and mild hop. Smells like a premium lager. Med body. Flavor is more soda pop than beer. There’s not enough hop to make up for the lack of barley.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate floral, grain and fruit aroma. Light to medium balanced sweet flavor with a light to medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Short to medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Soft beer that was worth having once.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Yellow pour, white head. Grainy nose, not much hops, some stale fruit notes. Flavor is much the same and is not too tasty.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
The beer is a clear golden color with a white head. Some citrus peel notes and a touch of floral hops. A mild breadiness with a bit of cracker aroma. Maybe a bit of grass on the back end. The flavor is somewhat bland and has a touch of paper to it. Some light grain sweetness. There is a subtle but noticeable hop presence, mostly floral in nature but hints of grass and citrus peel are also there.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from Blue Dog. Pours canary with 2-finger well-retained white head. Nose is Saaz hops, lager yeast, pale malt. This one smells good. Tastes pale malty, somewhat tart, with a bold hop crispness at the finish. This one is one of the top 3 gluten free beers I have ever quaffed, and a very good lager in its own right.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Poured clear, bright golden with a short-lived white head. The aroma picked up lightly-toasty corn and pale malts with light, dank hop accents. The flavor found corn, honey, and odd grain (sorghum?) with sharp lemon zest and odd bitterness around.. finished lemony and quasi-refreshing. Light-bodied with an ok flow through the palate.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours a hazy yellow-amber color with a thin fizzy off-white head. Poor head retention. Aroma of cereal malts with light toastiness. The taste is toasted malts, some crackery-notes, mild floral hops. Well balanced, medium bodied. Nice beer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This beer is a crystal clear pale yellow color with a medium fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly bitter floral hops, biscuit malt and grass. The finish is short and lightly hoppy. Run of the mill overall.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle, clear gold with egg white foam, light musky hops aroma and flavors, some mild bitterness, malt liquor finish. Reminds me of a weak NB Shift
