marcus (3763) - Sacramento, California, USA - NOV 23, 2011
Pours clear golden with foamy white head and a light floral aroma. There is a standard pale malt flavor with slight hop bitterness. Nothing distinctive about this beer.

bhensonb (7131) - Woodland, California, USA - NOV 17, 2011
Bottle from Half Time. Pours gold with a frothy white head. Aroma quite bready. Med body. Flavor is bready with not a great deal of hop - but there is some - seems herby. It has also got a grape note towards the finish. Much more drinkable than most pale lagers.

crossovert (2543) - Wisconsin, USA - SEP 13, 2011
Rare 12 oz import, prob because it is for an American company. It pours a clear pale gold with a foamy white head that doesn’t leave much lacing. It just smells wrong, like a milkshake or something. The flavor is equally bad: vomit, vinegar, peppers. Horrible beer.

coldbrewky (1116) - Saugerties, New York, USA - AUG 20, 2011
Bottle via Beer World. Less than one dimensional. Watery body with some wierd mustyness. pale golden with hardly a head. Nose of nothing. A mere slice above coors light.

crazyvin (1535) - New York, USA - JUL 17, 2011
Poured a medium yellow color with a half inch white head that had nice retention and decent lace. Aroma had a slightly off putting metallic presence to it, but also mild sweet malt notes and some corn. Flavor was decent and crisp some nice sweet malts and some corn. No hops but there was no metallic note from the aroma. A nice crisp finish. Refreshing. Also good for the style.

jredmond (2471) - Manhattan, New York, USA - MAR 14, 2011
Bottle with streets at uncle Mario’s. Aroma is sweet malt. Mouthfeel is thin and carbonated with notes of sweet malt.

Davros (919) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - FEB 22, 2011
Pours pale gold with a small head. Nose shows faint sweet malt and corn. Pretty boring, not much going on at all. Flavours are pretty much the same, no bitterness whatsoever. At least there’s no really bold off-flavours. Very watery body.

Leighton (3590) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 9, 2010
Bottle. Pours light copper with a mild white head. Grainy malt aroma with corn and sugar. Flavor is sweet, a bit syrupy and not very bitter. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes unpleasantly sweet. I don’t mind Pale Lagers but this one really isn’t that good.
