Narnad (1136) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - MAR 7, 2010
Pours a clear yellow color with a dense white head. Aroma has a strong grainy malt with a mild floral finish. Flavor is composed a very strong graininess early with some mild floral, noble hops later. Body is very light with very high carbonation. Not a bad overall brew but really not much there to be offensive.

bhensonb (7137) - Woodland, California, USA - FEB 18, 2010
Bottle from Star Grocery in Berkeley, CA. Pours pale gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is bready/grassy/herby. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is lightly bready with some citrus for balance. Maybe a bit grassy in the finish. Clean. Would be ok to wash down food. Not something I’d drink for the sheer pleasure of beer.

Pretty horrible beer. Skunky and grass aroma. Hints of malts and some fruit. Not too much here. Will stay away from it next time.

rmasa (324) - Vantaa, FINLAND - JAN 19, 2010
UPDATED: JAN 20, 2010 Clear yellow color with faint white head; aroma of nothing, really; so much carbonation that it hurts and it still can´t hide the light body; flavor is pretty much water with only hints of maltiness and some very harsh bitterness in the finish.

Ughsmash (5631) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 11, 2010
Bottled. Poured clear, bright golden with a short cap of white head that didn’t stick around for long. The aroma picked up cardboard and light vegetal notes over non-descript pale malts.. the bright-ish impression was rather off-putting. The flavor found a little honey to go with the pale malts at the core.. just a touch of scratchy bitterness around.. finished sharp and unpleasant. Light-bodied, dry, and tacky on the palate.. watery feel, but somehow the ugly finish stuck around for a long time. I could’ve done without this.

Russo (942) - Campinas, BRAZIL - JAN 4, 2010
on tap at Maharaja restaurant in Tallinn. Pale yellow with a poor foam, aroma is skunky and some yeast. Flavor has some corn, yeast and a little bit of Hop. Mouthfeel is none. Bad experience.

carruthm (1396) - Seattle, Washington, USA - DEC 7, 2009
half liter bottle, pours super clear yellow with some popular bubbling and a thin head covering. Aroma is wheaty and yeasty. Flavor is grassy. Palate is slightly off, a touch watery and a lasting bitter flavor.
