beerbill (2848) - Laurel, New York, USA - JAN 6, 2012
16.9 oz. green glass bottle. Pours a crystal clear pale gold with a fizzy white head that dissipates in about sixty seconds and leaves scant lace. The aroma is lager yeast, mild skunk, and just a bit of malt. The flavor is exactly the same with perhaps some very mild hops at the finish. Thin watery body. Thankfully, a cheap bottle.

Can. Clear golden colour. Malty aroma. Soft taste of sweet malt with a bit of fruity hops.

Green bottle from Half Time. Pours gold with a slight white head. Aroma is sort of corn with a hint of skunk - which might be my imagination. Med body. Flavor is bready with some arguably grassy hop - seems a bit gummy in the mouth. Skunk is still possibile, but very light if present.

A stale corny aroma, decent carbonation, oily texture and likewise corny flavour.

meerbier (828) - Pijnacker, NETHERLANDS - SEP 26, 2011
Bottle@Home. Earthy hop notes aroma, refreshing. Pale yellow, white head, good lace. Malty, light hoppy and bitter start but quickly disappears leaving nothing but grain. Thinnish, soft.

Ouch, this is pure water. IT literally tasted like water. Skunky smell. Where are my Saaz hops!?!?!?!?

Pale golden. Very metallic tasting wih a little bit of light sweetness. Meh - definitely a low point.

Pale straw. No head. Looks dull. Only the faintest hints of hop and malt, like they were aiming for a ghost of a Czech beer.
