Bottle shared by Kevin. Pale golden body under a fluffy white head. Lots of carbonation. Grass cuttings and dry pale malt in the aroma. Spritzy mouthfeel. Dry pilsner malt in the flavor with grassy saaz highlights. More of the same in the finish. Pretty uninspriing stuff.

Thanks to Kevin for sharing pours a hazy off golden color w/ a nice white head and ltos of visable carbonation, and a nice lacing. Smells of stale grains strongly when it was poured then that faded quickly into something barly there and lightly sweet. Palate is well carbonated w/ a decent body. Flavor is better than I expected lightly sweet some honey notes, wheat, and a touch of lemon zest. A very light easy to drink lager.

Has a nice hazy golden body with a foamy white head. Nice malty aroma. Pretty good malty flavor, not too weak or too strong. Kind of a fuller body anf texture, but little carbonation. Overall, it’s pretty nice, and would probably go well with a bowl of Lucky Charms.

Pours clear golden with a small white head. Faint lemon and grain in the nose. Flavor has notes of grass, grain/sweet pale malt and lemon. Moderate bitterness. Full, round and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation. No lacing, head fades pretty quickly. Overall, a simple drinkin’ beer, nothing special or horrible.

The head dimishes rapidly but retains its creaminess even in its slender state. There’s not too much carbonation, but the yellow body is fairly thick and creamy. Bready malt nose and bready malt taste with very little hop bitterness. Dry finish. Not bad, but there’s no reason to repeat it.

Draught > Flying Saucer. I have no idea what an Irish style lager is suppose to taste like so I don’t know if this is true to the style. I do know that this tasted like an extremely dry green granny smith apple and it wasn’t very appealing.

I was not really sure what to expect from this, as I figured it might have been a red colored ale. To my shock it looks just like a normal beer. It is easy to drink, refreshing, and it has a nice hint of apples in it. At first I was thinking this was a pretty weak beer, but turns out I did like it more than the initial tastes.
