Delicious, with the sweetness consistency a bit like that of maple syrup or something. Delicious, grainy and robust.

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 21, 2006
On draft at the Newtown Brewfest with the Mad Indian and Beerded_one. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of yeast, spices, and sweet malts. The flavor is slightly sweet upfront, spices, and a slight bitter finish. Good body, ok brew.

Saarlander (1664) - Saarlouis/ Rancho Cucamonga,CA, GERMANY - AUG 28, 2006
Just way too sweet for me, even though its a helles, too sweet. I got through it, but didn’t enjoy it.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 16, 2006
Bottle... Clear, light golden lager with a small, frothy, white head. Beefy malts and breadsy yeast with a hearty, spicy hop aroma. Lightly sweet up front; balanced nicely by spicy hops and grassy aldehydes. Medium-bodied with prickly carbonation. Crisp, fairly clean finish.

jmuhops (666) - Winchester, Virginia, USA - AUG 13, 2006
Pours gold with a one-finger white head. Sweet malty aroma with faint earthy hops. More of the same in the flavor, with some soapiness. A bit of a metallic aftertaste.

Aurelius (3077) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - AUG 12, 2006
Sweetish, mellow, but nothing compared to Penn’s other lagers. Not really all that much to say, perhaps a bit underbittered.

zebracakes (1340) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 10, 2006
Bottle. Pours hazy gold, white head. Aroma is malt and citrus. Flavor is malty and slightly citrusy. This beer is very wheaty.

guzzler67 (1373) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - JUL 23, 2006
Light yellow-gold appearance with a small, white head; little in the way of lacing. Juicyfruit gum aroma with some vegatal notes near the finish. Light bodied, medium carbonated mouthfeel. Mild, smooth, fruity, modestly sweet taste. Slightly bitter aftertaste.
