Tap at Ulysses in NYC . Gold bronze color. Light hue with a smooth easy drinking taste , but boring like a micro. Why this served in a 12 oz glass? I have no udea ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

GT2 (5657) - Riverslime, California, USA - MAR 22, 2013
Tap at Penn social in DC. Clear straw pour. No head. Bubbles. Nose is lemon, cinnamon, fruit cake. Taste is essentially Bud Light - seltzer, metal, hydrogen peroxide. Palate is extremely weak to non existent. Not sure why this even exists. Bad.

JDBaker11058 (922) - Maryland, USA - MAR 22, 2013
Appearance: clear medium gold, one finer of bright white head, minimal lacing. Aroma: toasted white bread, fresh-cut grass, a bit of honeysuckle and lemon. Taste: ritz crackers, a bit of white pepper, lemongrass, and a bit of floral honey. Finish: crisp, with lingering white bread/cracker flavors, and a surprising hint of green apple. Notes: Really enjoyed this one. Clearly a top-shelf lager.

ellolovey (264) - Georgia, USA - MAR 19, 2013
22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden honey color with a thin white ring. Aroma of dish soap, pilsner yeast, and grass/ earth. Taste skunky. Sour/tart watered down malts. Good carbonation and refreshing. But nothing going on here. Not an enjoyable taste at all. Disappointed.

Emeister84 (433) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - MAR 17, 2013
Aromas of grass, straw, and bread. Golden with a mostly fading, white head. Dry with a very light bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation and a clean, grassy finish.

Lukaduke (1005) - Portland, Maine, USA - MAR 17, 2013
Pours a light golden straw color with a fizzy two finger head. Aroma is bready malts and a touch of grassy hops. The palate follows with a flat bready note and touches of citrus from the hops. A drinkable lager but lacks anything memorable in the flavor profile.

wxman (1170) - O’Fallon, Illinois, USA - MAR 16, 2013
On tap at Global Brew. Pours a clear pale golden with a decent white head that diminishes but stays and laces. Aroma is bread dough and mild hop spice. Taste is sweet pale malt, biscuits and a little floral hops. This is a very simple lager that is very well balanced, refreshing and flavorful.

Draught at Rogue Ales - Brewer’s on the Bay. Made for Kells Irish Restaurant and Pub in Portland. Earthy aroma and flavors. Grows on the tongue with each sip. Okay.
