The aroma is metallic with cereal grains and grassy hops. The appearance is pale gold with a medium white head. The flavor is sweet with a lightly bitter aftertaste and is just like the aroma in every other way. The palate is thin but OK. This is fairly well done except the metallic elements.

On-Tap @ PNC Park, Pgh, PA. Poured golden yellow, 1-inch thick fluffy white head that was present all the way to the last drop. Aroma was bready and sweet, not overpowering. Flavor was mildly hoppy, sweet, hints of caramel, grains, and malts. Caramel notes more present as it warmed, with a sweet aftertaste. Not offensive when warm either. Thin bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Nice to drink on a hot day at the ball park.

Very drinkable and contradicting it a harsh acidic lemon finish. Noticeable hops and light yellow with a decent head. hoppy like a pale ale. More bitter than sweet.

Nothing about this beer is very good. If you have not had it do not waste your time.

On Draft at Tanks Taproom – aka: BillMar Station

Pours a straw colored golden body and a fluffy ivory head. The aroma and flavor suggests biscuity, buttery, bready malts. Hints of a mild lemongrass hops in the finish. The palate is light, slightly buttery… & although a very mild beer, there is still a nice delicate complexity to be found.
Indeed, I have been enjoying this beer for the past couple weeks.

Bottle. Crisp feel. Typical light lager, decent finish with mild hoppy feel. Not bad but not great.

lamas (1033) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 20, 2006
Bottle. A clear, pale-gold pour with a very thin white head. Aroma is of grain and corn. This is probably the most watery beer I’ve rated. There’s hardly anything to it in the taste either. Just mildly sweet grains and some corniness. A good beer for a beer bong, but that’s about it. At least there are no chemical tastes like you get with the macros. I’m shocked that this isn’t a light beer.

DarkElf (2938) - La Jolla, California, USA - OCT 2, 2005
(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with hopdog, thanks Steve!) Mostly a sweet grain and corn nose, but there’s also a very distracting "new sneaker" rubber smell in the not-too-distant background. The sweet, grainy flavor is dominant, with corn less obvious than in the nose, and a mild bitterness emerging, turning slightly unpleasant in the finish. Light-medium bodied with average carbonation, and it doesn’t really lose body in the finish. Medium straw in color, and only slightly hazy, the occasional carbonation bubble can easily be seen rushing upward through the beer. The whitish head poured pretty small, and quickly settled to a very tiny ring. Not too good, but passable I suppose.
