Ughsmash (5628) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 18, 2007
Bottled. Poured clear orangey-golden with a tall, rocky cap of white head. Aroma was of sweet bready malts with dusty floral and sweet grains... quite pleasant. Flavor almost held serve, but picked up a soapy component.. sweet bready base with sufficient floral bitterness. Lighter-bodied, but never struck me as watery.. crisp and refreshing. Nice one.

Golden-amber with thin head. Graniy aroma. Balanced with mild sweet fruity malts and faint hops. Smooth, refreshing, & dry.

Slick (1971) - Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA - APR 7, 2007
Nice amber color,small off white head that had a decent hangtime then faded slowly to leave a little behind.The aroma was malty with a slight grainy side and a hint of hops.The flavor was not great but decent enough.Nice light malty side some hints of caramel and the hops are a bit on the light side but decent enough to be noticed.Pretty light brew flavor wise but still might make a decent summer brew.

Orange/amber color with a nice off white head. Bread and sweet malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a very smooth finish. A solid effort.

Clear copper body. Off-white creamy head. Aroma is of soda crackers mixed with hotel room and dry light chocolate. taste is fizzy and moderate sweet. Then a little bit of rye dryness kicks in. This is a little dark for a pale lager, but I think that probably added only good things to the flavor.

I was impressed by this beer. The bottle did not scream try me, but I figured why not. Pours a dark orange with an off-white head. There’s a hint of coffee in the aroma, but that’s about it. The taste was above average. Bold up front with a smooth finish. A touch of citrus?

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - OCT 4, 2006
12oz bottle-Medium to dark amber with an off white head that dissipated quickly. Aroma of malt. Medium body with a big malt taste. Would call this an amber not a pale lager.

Pours orange amber with little head. Aroma is weak, can’t distinguish anything. Very watery. Not much to this one.
