@South St–on tap-pours no head and gold color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain, continental (hallertau?) hops.

Bottle... Mostly clear, golden lager with a small, fizzy, white head. Citrusy, grainy aroma of lemon zest and biscuit. Crisp, well-balanced flavor; grassy, gently peppery and breadsy. Light-bodied and fizzy. Crisp, clean finish. Refreshing.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks!). Poured a light to medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grass, grain, and light citrus. Tastes of grain, citrus, bread, and grain. Thinner body.

Bottle. Really not that bad. Some nice crisp biscuit malts in the nose and in the flavor, some light butter or olive oil flavors but nothing terrible. Good frothy body, decent carbonation, nicely fresh and enjoyable.

Bottle courtesy of dkchmela. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of dry malt, bread, toast. Tastes of caramel, apples, lightly spicy on the finish.

Bottle from Secret Santa. Lagers get no respect, even when well made, and this one is no exception. The pour is hazy canary gold with 1-finger whitish head. Aroma of apricot, peach, hopcitrus, pale malt. Very fruity, nice aroma. Tastes hopcitric, pale malty, with some honey and apricot notes. The taste isn’t as fruity as the smell, but this one stays smooth, crisp, and complex all the way through, making me wish I had a sixer. In my mind, this is one of the world’s top twenty lagers.

Bottle. Slightly sweet malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Slightly sweet lemon and malt flavor with moderate hops finish. Moderate acidity and light carbonation. Stylewise, very nice.
