(12oz bottle) Small white head diminishes rapidly, leaving crystal clear apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, faint grassy. Taste is medium sweet, bread, apple, some grassy, light caramel. Watery light body, light crispness.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughsmash (thanks!). Bottle labeled BB 12/06/06. Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grain, yeast, and a trace of lemons. Tastes was very grainy with some grassiness. This one just didn’t do much for me.

Bottle: Pale yellow color, nice white head and plenty of lacing. The nose is very faint but clean, nice light pilsner malt, faint hop. The flavor is thin, light, clean and a very little hop overall tone. The finish is clean, balanced, light. Still a clean flavorless lager, not very thought provoking.

Bottle... Clear, yellow lager with a small, frothy, white head. Excellent, tight/creamy retention. Grainy, corny nose with lots of pilsner malt. Good balance in flavor. Light malts and mild, earthy-herbal hops. Not much to it really (thin and watery), but inoffensive and refreshing. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Short, watery, clean finish. Thanks, FlacoAlto, for this brew!
