Mora2000 (2732) - Dallas, Texas, USA - AUG 18, 2010
Poured from a 22 ounce can. The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grain, oranges, lemons and some metal. The majority of the aroma is taken up by the grain, but the citrus hides in the back and occasionally makes an appearance. The flavor is a mix of grassy hops, bready malt and grain. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Nothing exciting about the beer, but it is not bad.

Onslow (639) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - AUG 7, 2010
Pour from one of those nice 22 oz steel cans. Light amber or darker gold brew, with one finger of white head. Active carbonation aids in head retention. Aroma of light malt with a hint of slightly grassy hops. Flavor is nice but not distinctive - pleasant light malty graininess and a slightly dry finish with a hint of bitter. Nothing bad or unflavorful here at all though, and there is a malty aspect that is nice.

Medium gold, decent sized head. Aromas of light malt, touch of hops. Flavor is slightly sweet, pretty well-balanced; a bit of bitterness on the finish. Though it’s nothing very interesting, you can tell this is an all barley malt beer. Bit more malt quality than normal Sapporo.

GKillian (525) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - JUL 5, 2010
Pours clear golden with thick creamy white head and foamy lacing. Notes of grain and hops. Slight metallic off-taste, but overall balanced. Crisp and refreshing.
