Commercial Description:
Remarkably smooth for a full-flavoured beer. Our founder's intention was to combine the refreshing taste of a German lager with the distinctive taste of an English Ale without blending the two.

Bottled. Pours with a darkish amber hue, small quickly disappearing white head. There is a nice mixture of hops and malts in he flavour and a moderate palate. There is some dryness in the finish. Fairly good stuff.

12oz.Bottle. Golden color. Foamy white head. Strong aroma of a crisp German lager. Smooth and medium palate. Tastes of a standard English Ale. kinda refreshing. Decent lacing. A good American Summer Beer.

Pale yellow. Palate was a bit creamy though I expected more from the name. Seemed to be a very average beer all-around.

Light gold, sickly grayish head. Nose of corn syrup. Then some corn. And then, possibly, some more corn. Flavor actually has a few hops in it much to my surprise. Is a bit vegetable/herbal, but inoffensively so, and the corn flavor is at least vaguely sweet corn and not rotting corn. Finishes decently thanks to the hops. Not slimy, has a decent palate. Surprisingly not complete and utter crap.

Bottle. Scary Bud-like appearance--uriney yellow/gold and flat, though the head is a bit more sturdy and actually produced some striped lacing. Aroma not too exciting, basically straw or hay with some faint grassy hops, similar to a typical "import" lager. Light corny malt flavor with a slight sourness in the background. A bit fuller in body and mouthfeel than a pale lager, though it feels and tastes old and flat. Not really good.

Pretty average offering, not all that ’creamy’ but still pretty smooth & drinkable, pours a straw-like golden color, small bubbly head when first poured, but it quickly amounted to no head at all, only a little bit of lacing around the glass, nose of corn & rice with a little bit of hop character, nice mix of hops & malt in the flavors, but a little sour toward the finish, semi-sweet finish but mostly sour & an qusai-outdated flavor, but not a bad beer to just ignore & try to put a buzz on with a few friends

Pours golden. Light malt aroma. Flavor is skunky and sour. Watery mouthfeel. Finishes with a funky corn aftertaste. Reminds me more of creamed corn flavored lager than ale of any sort.
