2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden clear pour with a white head. Hops and corn nose. Metal and corn taste. Light and crisp. Sad it is watery.
0.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Bottle from Central Market in Fort Worth. Light yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma was... well, I farted and it smelled better than this. Sweet and rotten. Taste was about the same.
1.1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Soooooo glad I didn’t provide this guy, although I did talk him into picking this up. Oh well. Clear light yellow color with a bit of head. Odor of skunk, there is no other way around it. This is skunked. Well it’s in a clear bottle so what the hell do you expect? Maybe a little bit of grain on the nose but geez... Tastes of bad grains right away with skunk taking a back seat. The bitter grain fulfills the other flavors as well, with a bitter finish. Not a pleasant finish and aftertaste.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very light beer, almost invisible in color, palate and flavor. Refreshing in a water kind of way, taste skews towards pilsner.
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Summer Beer Fest. This is a far too watery mess. Extremely pale yellow with a medium fading white head. Has a grainy pilsner aroma. Sulfer smelling although it still has some pils flavor that sneaks out. The palate is pretty bad.

straight gold .. . smells of the typical euro skunky lagers .. . medium foam .. . refreshing of course, but lacks any backbone .. . just a shadow of warsteiner .. . decent but go with their radler instead .. . Thank you, I’ll have the chicken tartar...

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Appearance: Pours a light yellow body as clear as the bottle that housed it. Topped with a smattering of white suds.
Smell: Lightly grainy, lightly sweetish nose punctuated by some skunky notes.
Taste: Sweet grains given an added bonus dusting of powdered sugar. Mercifully, there’s only a touch of skunkiness from these clear bottles. No apparent hop flavor, but you are treated to a very low hint of bitterness. Still finishes sweet though.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Unenjoyable and unrewarding. It’s blandly sweet with nothing else to offer. Whisper sweet nothings into my ear, but don’t pour’m down my throat, please.
