Guinness4Duff (515) - Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA - MAY 7, 2008
Bottle. Pours a mildly cloudy gold color with healthy white head. Has a light hop aroma and taste, a little lemon essence as well. Not my favorite style, but its drinkable.

jjuf1853 (951) - Land O Lakes, Florida, USA - APR 22, 2008
Bottle pours a clear pale gold color with minimal white head. Aroma is slightly sweet with malts, grains, and grasses. Flavor is light, crisp, and refreshing, but overall not a lot of substance, but some hops presence.

Schroppfy (2319) - Łódż, Warsaw, Poland; Michigan, Ohio, USA - APR 10, 2008
Aroma is killer - grassy, sunshiny, clean. A little acidic on top of the excellent hay, honey and crisp hop finish. This is a delightful quaffable beer - what malted barley and hop are upposduh be about. Jeez. I could drink a million of these.

PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 29, 2008
Brandon, Fl. - Kingdom Liquors, 12 oz bottle - medium golden pour, soft white head. Clean aroma, hints of fresh lake water, butter. Solid flavor with some bready notes, a hint of honey and some cereal. Decently thick mouthfeel. Bit too much yeastiness in the finish.

TheBeerGod (3960) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - MAR 7, 2008
Bottle. Strong golden pour with a small white head. Nose is grassy hops, buttery malts, light bready notes, soft honey and some metal. Taste is grassy hops, straw, cereal, yeast and buttery malts. Hint of honey comes through here too. Body is medium with a fairly strong and bubbly carbonation. Ends with more cereal, yeast, grass, straw and floral hops. Malts fade here as does the honey. Bit more bitter during the finish than the flavor as a whole.

jgb9348 (3369) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - MAR 2, 2008
Crystal clear golden coloured body with a very thin white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom - doesn’t look too good. Aroma of somewhat stale malt, a dose of hops, yeast, wheat and a ton of lemons. Light-bodied; Super mild malty taste coupled with some light coriander seed and lemony sweetness in the taste. Aftertaste shows basically nothing - hardly any tastes at all. Overall, very mild, almost non-existent when th taste is had. Definitely worth passing on this, but I was happy to try this beer regardless. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 01-March-2008.

rugbydude05 (452) - Bridgewater, New Jersey, New Jersey, USA - FEB 7, 2008
This beer was exactly what I expected. A very crisp looking and crisp tasting brew that pours a pale golden color with minimum head. Heavily hopped floral aroma, smooth palate, and average flavor. A refreshing drink on a warm day and perfectly complemented my cigar.

Pours a slightly foggy straw gold. Nice crème head. Nose is uneventful. Can’t seem to pull anything off of it. Flavor is pretty grain toned. Seems to be a steady and consistent with nice thick malt character to it. Feel is good on the liquid and the same on the carbonation. Overall very drinkable. Well made and goes down fairly easy, though the body is a bit thicker than the standard boring old lager. I can’t say I would go for it again (not my style...), but it is definitely well made.
