Very clear yellow with a big frothy head, and a few bubbles. I thin ’grassy hops’ is right when describing the aroma, it’s a bit like mowing the lawn in spring! So I think the commercial description just about covers it, although they can underline ’bitterness’.

I rather liked it. Bought a 12pk at Bullocks, East Cobb. Light straw yellow colored. Fizzy white head.. Slightly skunk bitterness to it. Build Breesia’s IKEA Bed after having at least 3.

This is the first beer I have encountered from this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a pale yellow color with a small soapy white head that faded quickly. The aroma is tangy with a hint of skunk. The flavor is sour and tangy macro lager with a moderate skunkyness. The finish is fairly mild. A fairly typical macro pale lager.

Bottle. Good Points: Pours nicely, has a nice head that doesn’t quickly go away, smooth. Bas points: Skunky smell and a long-lasting aftertaste. Not the best, but not the worst either. I’d buy it again.

330ml bottle .Pours a golden straw color with a fluffy white head that doesn’t fade very fast.Grassy aroma with a grassy flavor that is not sweet or bitter.It has slightly more taste than bud but less than some other lagers.

bottle. skunky aroma. taste is plain lager blandness. very unoffensive, but nothing too interesting comng through. minimal aftertaste. might not be bad for a real change of pace.

Skunked. The aroma from this bottle was skunk before I poured it. It obviously spent some time in a warm window before I purchased it. Pale yellow, with a good white head. Good medium body, with lot of malt flavor. I’ll try and overlook the skunk taste in the score.
