3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Half Time. Pours gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is a "warm" sugary smell. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is bready, almost wheaty, with a little grassy hoppiness. Finishes a little astringent and almost dry. Seems to have mild fruit off and on. Very drinkable.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Poured an amber color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light sweet hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Light bitter flavor with a smooth bitter finish of moderate duration. Drinkable but not a standout brew.

A nice golden beer with a thin white head. In aroma, a light fruity aroma with light caramel malt. In mouth, a sweetish malt with light fuesel alcohol, a bit oily. Medium bodied, a bit cloying. On tap at Jerry’s, Chicago, May 16 2009.

12oz bottle labeled best before 9/30/06. Poured a light to medium golden color with a very small sized white head. Aromas of grass, light honey, and same graininess. Tastes of lighter grass with a light honey finish. Not really complex, but drinkable.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden colour. Nice, clean lagered nose. Crackery/bready malts and a touch of light biscuity character. A little bit of caramel and a decent noble hoppiness. Bitterness is light but present with a decent balance of soft hoppiness. Clean, fresh sweet malts. Quite fresh and fairly authentic. It’s good.

Tap at Burger Bar. Pours clear gold with a medium, fizzy white head, short retention with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, meal, cereal), light hops (spicy), clean lager character and notes of corn. Flavor is malty, corn, light hops, and clean. Light body, low warmth, medium carbonation and a dry finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Gold pour. Aroma is grainy, caramel, some light hops and some crackers. Flavor is malty and lightly hopped. Ok, certainly not bad.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle best by 9/20/07: Pours an effevescent bright golden with an airy, frothy white head. Aroma of toasty earthy grainy malts and maize with some soapy noble hops. Body starts with a mild grainy malty sweetness and some strange buttery soapy off-flavors toward a drier, bitter finish. Not really sure what is wrong, but I don’t want to finish it. Probably got a bad bottle.
