Rastacouere (5201), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Dec 11, 2005 Clear deep gold, tiny fading white head. Grainy, mainly malty nose that is highly toasted and slightly bready. Mild sourdoughyness develops midway betraying the quality of the malt extraction. Light grassiness emanate from the hop aromatics, accentuating the sense of balance without distracting from the overall mellow feel. Crisp medium body, efficient cleasing carbonation. Thanks Clark! CaptainCougar (4599), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jan 22, 2006 Sampled at the Milwaukee YEHa!05 courtesy of JPDIPSO: Pale clear golden pour has a thin ring of lightly-lacing white head. Lightly sweet and slightly earthy saaz hop aroma. Starts dry and very grainy with a thin, watery finish and a touch of bitterness. Not very interesting, but drinkable I suppose. hopscotch (4379), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Nov 5, 2004 First off, I don’t like this being categorized with Budweiser, Coors and Miller. I would rather it be categorized as a Helles as the brewer prefers... Anyhow... Crystal clear, textbook amber lager with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Very good retention with spotty lacing. Interesting, malty and yeasty aroma. The nose is a blend of white pepper, jalapeno pepper (without the heat), a fusion of rye and white breads and damp straw. The flavor is hearty and malty, but very well balanced with just a hint of caramel and jalapeno (without the heat). Medium to full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, clean finish.
