 WisconsinBeer (322), St Paul, Minnesota, USA
Nov 26, 2007 12 oz bottle. As soon as I cracked the cap open, the foam started overflowing. Poured it into a glass and the foam party continued. Foamy pale yellow color, slightly hazy. Bittering hops and pilsener yeast are at the forefront. Has the typical Viking soft water roundness. Pretty straight forward pilsener, nothing too amazing, but not bad at all.

Oct 4, 2007 Bottle care of Arg0: Gold color, light head and lacing. Nose of light malt and grassy hops, vegetal. The flavor is hoppy, nice citrusy floral malts but thin and musty. Eh.

Aug 5, 2007 Picked up a four-pack at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in Roseville, MN. Pours a semi-hazy orange amber brew with a thick, lumpy white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of multi-grain malt, orange zest, and something reminding me of Tang Orange powder. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a citrusy orange flavor that hides the multi-grain malt. Finish is slightly acidic, mild bitterness with an orange peel aftertaste.

Jun 26, 2007 (12oz bottle) Lightly hazed straw body with small off-white head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, cereal, some orange. Taste is medium sweet, orange, some herbal. Light-medium body, some duskiness. Seems a bit low in bitterness for the style.

Feb 25, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear golden color. Head was white and bubbly with good retention and some lacing. Smells and tastes of skunky European hops and husky grain with a strange adhesive note (kind of like tape?). Flavor is similar and also uninspiring. Dry and a bit acidic on the tongue. Metallic note at the end detracts somewhat.
