1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 rejtable (359) - Ontario, CANADA - AUG 14, 2011
Not too much to say here. Most overrated beer in the world? Very bland profile, I really can’t tell any big difference between this and any random macro lager.

Can somebody please tell me why this is now everywhere in the U.S. ? WHY?!? Typical Pale Lager, very tasteless. Had it on tap @ The Holy Grail in Epping, NH. Piss yellow color, mild hop nose, a bit skunky. Taste is light malt, with light hops. Mild bitterness. Very bland if you ask me, total crap.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Hair6a11 (931) - Illinois, USA - AUG 11, 2011
Bottle; Pour is clear light golden with a fine bubbled white head that becomes a light haze, ringing this stella glass. The nose is adjunct, fruity, with a light spice note, and I think the flavor profile mirrors these notes. This brew has a refreshing character, light bitterness, and a touch of sweetness. This is a nice drinker, I’ll admit.

Poured pale golden color with moderate head and little lacing. Aromas of grassy hops and slightly skunky. Taste is lightly sweet with a slightly bitter hop finish. Carbonation and body are average. One of the better macro-beers.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 TomTron (83) - Aiken, South Carolina, USA - AUG 10, 2011
12oz bottle. This beer isn’t great but it isn’t that bad either. If it’s fresh, it is rather refreshing, but with the green bottle, it makes it vulnerable to skunking easier. The Belgian yeast permeates the aroma and the taste just as well. It’s too bad this beer has to be twice as expensive as all the American macro-brews because I would rather slam these instead of a Bud, Coors, or Miller any day. For what it’s worth it’s good, but I’d rather have tons of beers over this any day...
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 rollinsr (104) - Atlanta, GEORGIA - AUG 10, 2011
Decent cheap beer even though it isn’t cheap (Ill take a PBR over Stella anyday). Slightly fruity flavor similar to that of a cheap white wine. Decent enough flavor but just not that much complexity. The nice clean finish is the main saving grace of this beer.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 northropfrye (653) - Steinbach, Manitoba, CANADA - AUG 8, 2011
UPDATED: DEC 26, 2011 Bottle. A better than average pale lager. Nothing notable or interesting, but refreshing. Can get skunky.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20 Sammer (694) - Plano, Texas, USA - AUG 6, 2011
Kind of a severe, skunky, bitter malt taste with not much to like. More hype than flavor for sure.
