DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 14, 2006
Bottle from Super Saver. Pale gold pour. The aroma is very skunky, with some grainy malt and citrus. The flavor is much better than the aroma, with some grainy pale malt flavor, plus some citrus and honey notes. Watery palate.

RedEft (131) - Wichita, Kansas, USA - SEP 11, 2006
From a bottle in a chilled mug...reasonably golden color with a small white head. Fairly skunky. Moderate grassy, slightly bitter flavors mixed with skunk. Refreshing, sure...but not a distinctive pale lager by any means.

frankenkitty (1953) - Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA - SEP 11, 2006
A frothy white head settles slow over a bright golden body with moderate carbonation. Dry, lightly skunked aroma (green bottle) with herbal hops and milk. Thin, pissy body with a mild flavor... a touch of sweetness to a base of weak bitters. Bland.

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.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3205) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 20, 2006
UPDATED: DEC 5, 2006 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.

Pale gold- bubbly white head – skunk, caramelized caramel, malt nose – sparkly, slightly bitter, malt – dry body-crisp, sour aftertaste
