Bottle from World Market in Davis, CA. Intense grainy/corny smell. Poured a pale yellow with a fluffy white head. Typical pale lager taste grainy, but also had a matly taste. Proabably won’t buy this one again.

This brew pours a golden body with a thin white head. It leaves quite a bit of lacing. This is your classic example of a pale lager, has a malty mouthfeel and a crisp clean finish.

Bottle. Pours golden, with a large white head. Aroma is a nondescript malt and some grassy hops. Flavor is similar, slightly sweet, with a bit more vegetable hop undertones than expected. Not bad for a pale lager---a bit of actual flavor, and a lack of any offensive adjuncty off-flavors. Kind of like one of the lighter German pilsners, really.

Surprising amount of hops for a pale lager; seems almost like a pilsner. Grassy. Not great.

5/19/08 notes: bottle. Nose of grass, bread, gasoline. Flavor is of bitter grass and some caramel sweet. Finishes fairly clean. Not recommended, especially for the price.

First tried this beer 25 years ago and am just now getting around to rating. If nothing else, this light lager is consistant; it looks and tastes the same as it did then. Pours a bright pale gold with a reasonable fluffy white head that diminishes quickly, but enough sticks around to lace the glass. Aroma of sweet malt and hop flowers. Crisp clean refreshing taste consisting of sweet pale malt and slight but assertive hop bitterness. Pretty darn good lawnmower beer.

Bottle at Bottlescrew Bills calgary,AB. Great taste. Lacking in smelly. A bit skunky and grassy. Goes down smooth.

Pours a straw / golden color with an extremly white head that is fizzy. Nose is grass and skunkyness, maybe a bit of lightstruck due to the green bottle. Taste is corn, and earth, and grains. Not good.
