Apr 19, 2008 Poured golden yellow from 12 oz bottle. Formed large foamy head, aroma of grass, hops, ocean water. Flavour was of sweet corn, floral hops, and carbonated water. I guess it was ok, considering it was a lager type beer, however coming from SN I was a little disappointed. Serve it up on tap on a hot day for friends or lawn, other wise take it somewhere else. Sorry fellas.

Apr 18, 2008 Updated: Aug 4, 200912oz bottle. Blasts of sulfur and grassy hops waft at you, followed by some herbs. Crisp, hoppy flavor, with bready malts that provide a nice sweetness. Clean, light mouthfeel with ample carbonation. Definitely retains the SN signature character despite the lager yeast. Not bad, but I think that they could do better. (3)
Rerate: either they did better this year, or I just like pilseners more... Let’s see, a golden all-malt lager with lats of saaz aroma and flavor, ya this is a pils, and a pretty decent one at that. Good aroma and flavor coming from the hops, but the malt is a little less vivid and bready than I would like. Light and refreshing with a nice lasting bitterness in the finish that doesn’t go too overboard. Another nice beer from the Norcal boys. I really do need to make it up from Chico one of these days.

Apr 14, 2008 Updated: Mar 22, 2009Pours with a vibrant golden body covered by a small, rocky, white head. Crisp, citrus hops and pilsner like grass in the aroma. Citrus start to the taste followed by a fruity body and a grassy finish. Good for the style, but I am not a fan of basic lagers. Fizzy mouthfeel.

Apr 13, 2008 Poured a dense yellow with a short lived head. Hoppy and citrisy but something’s missing. Finish is short and tangy. Not a bad lager just not as good as I’d hoped for when I pull a Sierra Nevada off the shelf.

Apr 13, 2008 Bright yellow pour with white head that does not linger. Lager nose with floral and grassy notes...as well as two-row malts. Flavor is soft hops...mostly grain, with a crisp, clean finish. Nice on a beautiful warm day where you are grilling ribs.

Apr 9, 2008 12 bottle via Safeway. Pours a clear gold with a huge off-white head. Nose is typical lager yeast, malts, and some floral hops. Taste is grainy, some vanilla, and an earthy hop finish. A bit metallic. Body is light. Carbonation is moderate. Is almost ok.
