| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 1, 2008 Golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma of cereal grains, dusty hay, honey, lemon, and Saaz hops. Clean palate. Easy drinking and not overly interesting. However it is refreshing. Good lawnmower beer. Kenbeer30 (41), Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 1, 2008 Wow! Only a 44 overall on Ratebeer??? This beer is being under rated. Perhaps folks are expecting something different when they purchase. This is a Summer Lager. Perhaps they are looking for an ale, or an IPA, or a sweet summer wheat. I don’t know.
This beer poured into my favorite pint glass a golden amber with a slight protein haze to it. Formed a nice white head that laced my glass nicely. The nose is HUGE bread dough, and you can anticipate the hops. The taste is tart citrus on the front of the tongue. Definitely fruit, but not really sweet. Then POW, the hops hit in the depths of the cheeks and all the way down the hatch. Great finish to this over-hopped lager. Makes me want another gulp. Yummy.
Come on folks, be sure to rate the beers for what they are. This is a lager, and I dare say I would be hard pressed to find another lager with this much flavor punch (except Czechvar).
I would encourage everyone who rated this beer below the 3 to give it a second swig.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 31, 2008 I just mowed the lawn, so time for what I think might be a lawn mower beer... Bottle pours a crystal golden color with a bright white head that fades quickly leaving some lace. The aroma is floral and grassy (could be the grass clippings), perhaps some malty notes. The flavor is sweet, decent malt twang, nice and mellow hops, with a very refreshing and quenching palate. Overall, this works well for a lawn mower beer (after you mow of course). kevin62 (267), New Jersey, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 31, 2008 Pours clear golden with white head. Light grassy hop aroma. Slightly bitter flavor with a crisp finish. Light to medium body with average carbonation. Refreshing but average. SmellGood (316), Memphis, Tennessee, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 11/20 | May 30, 2008 I found the stale corn aroma. Minimal flavor and where is the tangy hop bite. Quite the disappointment from one of my top 5 breweries. donteatpoop (124), Youngstown, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 30, 2008 Pours a pale clear yellow with a decent cap of white head and a little lace that clings to the glass.
Light crispy scent with some interesting floral hop scents.
Taste was crisp and grainy with an underlying hint of lemon.
The carbonation level seemed rather low in this, but it was otherwise a well balanced beer.

Lagers are definitely a red-headed stepchild within the rarified air of beer-snobbery, but this is a quality brew. As good a signature hop flavor & palate as you’re ever likely to find in the style. If you’re hankerin’ for a lager, this is a good choice. Thumbs up.
