| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours with a large, off-white head and a clear amber brown body. Aroma of grain, honey biscuit and caramel. Taste is off...sour, lactic, with biscuit malt, a strong astringent bitterness, and just overall, quite weird. Medium bubbles, dry mouthfeel.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Bottle. Pretty, glowing, amber color. Light caramel malt aroma. Light palate, with big bitterness, good hops, and light caramel malt flavor. Hugely bitter finish lasts a long time. Light and refreshing--works well for the light style.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Bottle from State Line Liquors. Wasn’t expecting a whole lot from this beer, and it was more or less on point, or not on point, or whatever. Soft amber pour with a lightly fragrant malt aroma, and a good bit of tea in there amidst the hops. Slightly leafy taste too, very earthy and with a dry finish. Decent and certainly a worthy shot for such a low ABV, but nothing I’d be too enthused about on a return trip. smith4498 (876), Miami, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Pours light copper color with white head. Faint grainy aroma. Mild hop bitterness. Light to medium body with average carbonation. Not much going on, but pretty good for what it is. graham515 (424), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Pours gold into the glass with a small white head. Aroma is soft malt sweetness and a nice spicy hop nose. Not a style that will blow you away, but this is a damn solid beer with lots of flavor for such a low alcohol content jbye4334 (658), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 23, 2009 (bottle). Clear golden/amber color. Medium white head, which is mostly diminishing. Grainy aroma and flavor. Long duration. Dry finish. Thin texture. Heavy carbonation. Fair lacing. JAF737300 (792), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Pours deep gold with note of malts on the nose. The mild notes of malt in the palate drive to a nice dry finish. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable. williamherbert (466), Syracuse, New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Bright darkish yellow color. Lots of uprising carbonation. Nice, lasting white and foamy head. Looks clear and thirst-quenching.
Smell of a nice, all-malt lager. Mild barley malt. Pleasant. A little mild (nice) corn syrup sweetness.
Nice typically light all-malt lager flavor. Malt slightly pale. Very typical. Decent but doesn’t stand out.
A tad fizzy; the texture of a Belgian but none of the spicy bite. Drinkable but average. Not bad. Really just a normal lager.
