LongJaw (7), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA does not count Mar 15, 2008 Good beer to start the evening out. Nice tight head with a light citrus flavor. Overall mild flavor with a smooth mouth feel. Bier brauen (210), Bremerton, Washington, USA Mar 15, 2008 To me, it’s not much more going on than a grainy, dry taste. No yummy bready taste, no wonderful yeasty aroma. Just grain. Not the best lager, and definitely not a pilsner in my book. Elizavyeta (110), Minnesota, USA Mar 15, 2008 Light orange with almost no head has an aroma like that of wheat and citrus, with a touch of smoke.
Flavor is light and bread-like with a short, clean, and yeasty finish. Certainly not the most complex beers, but a good candidate for along side a meal or just by itself at the end of a long week.
Pair with a lighter, creamy Robiola or possibly even a triple creme with pears and tart apples. WallyWalrus (205), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Mar 15, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a clear straw color with a good white head. Aroma is largely earthy, with aromas of corn, malt, and yeast alongside a slight sweet note of hops. Taste is fairly full for a lager and creamy, with a neutral taste of malty breadiness and corn with maybe a slight twinge of hops. Amazingly inoffensive. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Mar 14, 2008 Pale color with white head. Standard grainy aroma with a little citrus. Light bread flavored body. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Mar 13, 2008 Sampled during Cellar’s weekly beer tasting in St Paul, Minnesota. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with an average white head that quickly dissipates to a white ring. Aroma of light bready malt, some citrus zest and a touch of green vegetable. Taste is light to medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of semi-sweet bread malt, some citrus zest, and a touch of dry yeast. Finish has a semi-sweet citrus aftertaste that quickly disappears after the finish. Irish style beer? Not sure, but still a drinkable session brew. sawyej26 (18), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 12, 2008 22oz. Decent lager aroma. gold body with modest head. Sweet palate, no overwhelming flavors with a smooth floral finish. Not really an Irish lager but a solid beer overall. presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 12, 2008 Big bottle. Delicate large white meringue head on hazy dark yellow. Typical lager aroma. Good palate. Zesty edge. Spritzy apple finish. Very pricey for an above average lager. Not sure of the Irish-ness.
