He was a representative of the Sierra Nevada brewery and now I will never purchase their product again. phishpond417 (1914), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 28, 2008 Pretty decent for the most part, and it tastes better on tap. Pours a semi cloudy yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is of bread a little grass. Taste is full on the palate, very refreshing and satisfying. Flavors of pear, grain and granola. tylerss20 (101), New Hampshire, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 26, 2008 Pretty unremarkable in a lot of ways. Clear yellow pour, small crown that dissipates like nothing. Not much nose, perhaps a bit of tang. Taste is clean, and what you want in a summer beer. Still, I would reach for a few other things on a hot day before this one. Not a bad effort, but certainly not Sierra’s most inspired brew. joshwilfong (776), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2008 golden with only mild head. some nice malt components with little hop presence that makes the beer taste somewhat like malt liquor MrRain (426), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 25, 2008 12oz bottle poured into a lager glass. SNS pours rich yellow with a nice lace-leaving head. It has a thick grainy aroma that reminds me of a tour of a corn-processing plant. The flavor is a nice alternative to the typical pale lagers that you get in the summertime. There’s a bit of bitterness to ease this beer along. The body is medium-to-heavy (for the style). The finish lingers a bit with bitterness that could be rounded out some more.

| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | May 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear yellow. Quickly diminishing pale head. The aroma is very light, very corny, very sweet. The flavour is pretty corny. It has a syrupy sweetness. Passing the tongue, the brew is a little tangy. Towards the finish, there is a very, very light hopsy bite. But it’s not really that pleasant. It actually adds a sort of astringent flavour to this. It’s not the worst, but it’s not good. smashteroid (250), USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 23, 2008 Golden body with a one finger head that lasts about a minute. Carbonation is significant initially but quickly fades. The description claims a hoppy aroma but malt dominated mine. Moderately bitter. Balanced taste. There is a nice hop zestiness that adds some depth to an otherwise sweeter beer. Wood is a significant flavor. All in all there isn’t a lot going on here but there are distinct flavors and feels that make it an interesting beer to sample.
