Jesse James went to Vegas and among other things....he brought back this. Cheers! Pours pale golden with a solid two finger froth. Good hangtime reducing slowly to a fluffy downy canopy. Aromas of grainy malts. Full nectar with good carbonation. The texture is cotton. A big malty backbone supports the hive as a mild spicey character emerges. A pleasant malty sweetness with nuances of hay, honey, vanilla, citrus, and aged apple. On the bottle it says crisp apple finish. I would say more like aged, soft apple finish. Like an apple that is partially dehydrated and going south yet still defined. This is not a bad thing, just not crisp. The finish a bittered mildly.

Yellow and clear with a nice white head. Slightly flowery smell slightly off aroma. Smooth flavor with a hint of apples. Finishes nice.

From a 22 oz bottle this poured a clear dark gold with a big fluffy white head and left big chunks of lacing as it settled. Nose of sweet malts, and citrus hops. Mild mouthfeel with quite a bit of carbonation. Flavor is malty, with a hint of fruit, and a dry finish. Good example of its type.

A bland, underhopped, watery beer with a mild grainy sweetness. Soapy head that fades rapidly. Meh.

(22oz bottle) Purchased at the Strath in Victoria. Lasting white head with a clear amber body. Nose is grainy, tinny and dishwater soap. Flavour is bready with milk. Below average.

On tap at Belmont Station--Poured a light golden-copper body with a thin white head. Nose of crisp malts and pilsner. Sharply carbonated body with a nice dry finish. Big time session brew.

Pours light golden with an effervescent body and a mostly receding wispy off-white head. Aroma of light honey malt, light toasted malt and bready. Taste is crisp maltiness, doughy, malty Pils yeastiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slight sweetness and lively carbonation. Good lager, but not worth $5.50 for 22oz.

Bottlre thanks Todd. Grainy, light cardboardy nose. Cloudy golden, lowish head. Medium grainy, light sugary malt, ok hop balance. Fairly light body, mellow mouthfeel. Somewhat sticky aftertaste.
