Typical looking pour, like any other lager. Smells of sweet hops and nothing else, which is a good thing for a lager. I know someone that should try this... It doesn’t taste like fruit, it doesn’t taste like nuts, it taste like a beer. Like a good beer. Very clean finish. Fully lagery mouth.

Tasted 3/15/09. 22oz bomber. Filtered with a golden hue. Layer of white head. Aromas of bready, grainy cereal and mildly corny. Medium bodied and crisp. Decent effervescence. Mild toast quality in the malt bill. Slightly sweet finish. Nice and fresh!

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow clear color with a rather large, frothy white head. Lacing is average. Aromas of grapefruit, malts, and some hay. Lively mouthfeel with a very clean and crisp finish. Flavors are light with some week hops and malt. For a lager, a good representation but not something I would seek out to purchase.

Bomber poured a clear golden yellow with a small lasting white head. Aromas of bread, straw and some fruitiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of cereal, light straw and a hint of citrus with a crisp clean finish.

On tap at the Golden Rail. Pours a clear light yellow with a thin white head. Little bit of yeast and sweet citrus on the nose. Small bit of sweet malt, and finishes with a bit of citrus hops. Overall, not very good, and very macro-esque. Couple of other guys I was with thought they could swap this out with Coors and no one would notice.

From a 22 oz. bottle purchased locally poured into a 0.5L glass. Aroma has some grainy stray with a little lemony hop character. A clear yellow gold with a small, rocky white head. Clean rich malt, not that sweet, but malty. A little grassy hop/grain flavor. A hint of diacetyl, and balanced evenly, slightly towards the malt. Clean and dry, and very sessionable.

Bottle. This is golden, transparent, with a tall white head. The aroma is quite floral, with apple, honey, grass, all fairly sweet. Initially, theres quite a hit of malt in the flavour: honey, apple, blueberry, moving to grassy hops and a moderately bitter finish. The body is relatively light, crisp with plenty of carbonation on the tongue. Theres nice lacework on the glass.
