2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20Bottle. Clear yellow, fine bubbly carbonation. Kinda grassy lemon aroma - there’s an off scent - diacytl was my first impression, but I wasn’t 100% on that. It was definitely an off aroma though. Kinda lemony earthy-hop flavors, kinda midline for a pilsener. Nothing spectacular.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours hazy, light golden color with a thin white head. Very mild malt and citrus aromas. Flavor is quite nice, having a very citrusy quality, with a juicy, lemony taste that zings the tongue. Slightly dry finish. Very drinkable, but with enough going on to satisfy the palate. Could be nice with a lemon wedge. Can imagine this making an excellent pool side refresher. Gotta love the tie-dye label. Enjoyable!

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a hazy golden body, and a wispy white head. Aroma is grassy, lemony, and a bit skunked. The flavor is placed, grainy, and there is undeniably some lactic presence in the finish. The palate does sit rather nicely though… but I think I’ll pour the rest of this out.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Had this beer with brutalbitter. smells and looks like a Pils. A little skunky. very light texture. grassy flavor. very nice balanced bitterness in the finish. Gold in color. Thin white head.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a transparent gold with a white head. Grass and light malt make up the aroma along with a hint of clove. Light floral flavor, nice carbonation in the the light body. Not a bad "lawnmower beer"...easy to drink, a bit resfreshing...not bad, though nothing memorable.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear gold, although there is sediment in the bottle, there’s not much haze in the glass. The aroma is slight grassy hops, a bit of straw malt, although I wouldn’t call this dry. Definitely not as good as their IPA.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
grassy hop aroma. clear yellow with a fluffy white head. not too bad. has a lightly sweet flowery finish from the hops and the usual grainy maltiness of a pilsner. good but obviously not made to be BIG.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: DEC 23, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pale yellow with a puff of white head. Grass, lemon, stale socks. Nondescript bready lemon. Not a lot here but drinkable.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
The sister beer of the Woodstock (Double) IPA also came in a tie-dyed labeled bottle. The look was typical of a traditional Pilsner, with a very clear, pale yellow body, lots of bubbles, and an average sized but durable head. Aromatically it was not as clean and hoppy crisp as I like a Pilsner to be, with a sweet, lemony scent, and a touch of DMS. The taste was average, with a refreshing, but a little muddy profile. The lemon twist effect was a bit overdone to be to my liking, and the lingering hop bitterness was metallic rather than spicy. This would turn out to be a good thirst quencher on a hot summer day, and the remainder of the six pack will certainly come in handy while I hang out on the porch. If they could hop it up a notch, and clean up the slight off flavors, this would be so much better.
