smells a bit sour, nice otherwise. when i close my eyes and smell this beer i see people enyoing a good ski while cooking chicken marsala. App: when i look at this beer i see the pee of the most dehydrated man. Taste: when i close my eyes and taste this beer i see a majestic grizzly taking a dump on a beautiful snow and christmas tree covered mountian. palate: when i close my and feel this beer in my mouth i see the view out of a picture window in a summer cabin of a pine-cone OA: when i close my eyes and think about this whole experiance i feel as if i had a bad beer on a perfect alpine vacation.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Amber color, head dies quickly. Light aroma. Very highly fizzed to the point of interfering with the taste. It’s not flavorless as I might of thought, but instead has some off flavors, sourness, on top of what would be a good beer. The Cascades add a nice touch to the more traditional German hops.

Oct 3, 2008 medium amber color, decent head with good lacing. smells of good hop quality. well balanced hop-malt content. a pretty good lager, but not very intricate.

Oct 2, 2008 Pours medium amber with a somewhat thin eggshell head that last and leaves a little lacing. Aroma is a wet bag of grain and a sweet almost honey like undertone, pretty weak though. Flavor is caramel malt, apples, and a little slightly bitter hops but mostly only in the finish. Mouthfeel is a little more substantial than the flavor indicates. Fairly inoffensive beer for the masses but pretty weak and uninteresting. Would be great for a bbq with lots of macro drinkers.

Sep 19, 2008 12 oz into shaker. Nice clear rich golden color with good off-white head that holds and laces well of pored properly. Doesn’t really have an aroma; some very light pale malt, but I gave it some generosity points for not having any off flavors. Very drinkable with a quick finish. Tastes like light cereal and water. Light bodied on palate with medium carbonation - a bit more mouth feel than I expected. Overall: fine and poundable, though not a unique flavor.

Sep 19, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Very mild malt and barley aroma, hard to pick out characters, and some grainy hops too. A somewhat cloudy amber-straw color with a smaller, slightly foamy, off-white head with short retention. The flavor is very subtlely sweet, with a mixture of bitter and sour tastes going down. Somewhat watery on the palate, with below average carbonation and a medium body. Not bad as lagers go, but not exceptional either.
