| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 23, 2008 Bottle; pours a very clear gold with a white head. A lot of visible carbonation streams. Aroma was pretty solid for the style; a balance between lightly toasted, bready malts and lemon/grass hops. Flavor was surprisingly good; some pilsner elements. Balanced flavor with some nice, earthy hopping. Respectable, refreshing brew. mcc5468 (103), USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 22, 2008 Summerfest 2008. Pours a clear golden color. Advertised as a lager but almost has aroma and taste of a weak pilsner. Not what I was expecting so it was disapointing from that aspect. As with the other reviews I have read, this does remind me of an average/below average macro. killjoy966 (218), Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 21, 2008 Maybe it’s due to years of drinking macro brews, but I fail to find anything exciting about this beer. While not as watered down and corny as a pale lager, there isn’t much to impress. Nice and fizzy on the tongue and a nice distraction from the Kolsch-wannabes that tend to be passed about as summer beers. Metalhead (570), Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 21, 2008 Not much to say about this. Looks like a macro. Smells like a macro. Almost tastes like one with some "summer crispness"
I’d pass on this unless you find a single bottle to try. darn1207 (543), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 21, 2008 12oz bottle. clear pale gold pour w/ small head. light sweet malt and lemon smell. grainy malt, little citrus and floral hops in the taste. long slightly bitter finish. refreshing summer brew. bitbucket (2030), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a lacy white head. Lightly sweet aroma with a touch of floral hops over the malt. Medium body and carbonation. A bit unusual for a style that is usually light bodied and watery. Lightly sweet taste with some fruit and honey. The finish is more flowery than crisp - I’d like it better the other way around. Not a terrible beer, but way short of fabulous. thechandler (268), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 20, 2008 Pours a mid-golden. Foamy white head. Aroma is pretty hoppy. Flavor is also pretty hoppy. Little bitter, not bad. doubleo (1104), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 19, 2008 On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours pale yellow with a nice white head, good lace. Smells a bit subdued, light malty. Tastes grainy malty and hay like, can’t tell if the hay flavor is from the hops or what. Thin body, good carbonation.
