3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Transparent orange. Mild, slightly grassy hops, with a decent balance. Malt profile (oats, maybe some rye?) comes through a little more in the flavor. Quite mild, but with a good flavor. Nice.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz. from chuck’s @ $4.59. This is an adjunt lager? Could have fooled me. It tastes great and the Hallertau give it a nice peppery flavor in contrast to what I would typically think of as an "adjunct lager". This is a damn fine beer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at Lockspot Fish & Chips Bar, Seattle
Deep blond color; creamy head. This beer has some malt character and some dirty water too, both aroma and flavor; ordinary bitterness.
Easy Lager.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Golden, a little dull, slight haze, large frothy white head, light lacing, nice carbonation.
Very soft malty nose, a little straw/hay. Smooth on the tongue, malty, very pale breadiness. Has a
nice body to it. Smooth, very light in flavor tho. Just some soft breadiness, straw, hay. Tiz clean
tho. Funny that it has a nice body, but not tons of flavor. Pretty respectable, and better than I was
expecting.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle. sparkling hazed gold body with a thick, tall-building white head. mild dusty corn and cream nose with quiet aroma hops. highly effervescent carbonation. medium-light body but still has some rounded chewiness. bittering hops seem suspended over the chewy, almost syrupy malt. hallertau don’t seem very central.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden bronze, well carbonated and a little foamy. A bit of the muted steam beer hop nose with some corn grits notes and a cream ale-esque quality. The body is a mild sweet grain and corn sweetness. Creamy with a somewhat earthy hop quality though it is well in the background.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22oz bottle, thanks to Jim. My bottle was a gusher. The beer was served in a footed pils glass that once belonged to my grandfather. Hazy golden color with a large rocky head. Sweet, bready malt and floral aroma. Full bodied would be an apt description, but the bitterness at the finish keeps it nicely balanced. Light, cracker-like malt and some pleasant floral hops in the flavor. Clean fermentation characteristics. A nice beer on a hot day. Simple and enjoyable, truly more than the sum of it’s parts.
