Draft at brewery. Poured a pale golden with a light white head. Nice lacing. Faint floral hops and some sweetness in the aroma.. quite pleasant. Flavor was much like the aroma, with a little more of a malt backbone than I had anticipated. Smooth across the palate, with some nice hop bite on the finish. This was nice and refreshing.

For a lager this isn’t half bad, not at all. Of course, that doesn’t mean there are other beers I’d pick first, but this is decent.

Extra light and watery flavor with little or no hop bitterness to keep your interest or satisfy your thirst. Used to be better.

Pours a nice golden from the bottle. Not many bubbles rising up through the brew. Very little head or lacing. Aroma is quite grassy. Flavor is smooth malt with a hint of hops. I experienced the metallic aftertaste as well. Palate is consistent with style, medium body and only a little carbonation. Nice offering for a cheap lager.

I found this one on tap at the Berghoff Cafe in the O’hare International Airport. I must say that this beer really sucks. It smelt very skunky, and it was served on tap for crying out loud. It looks just like on run of the mill BMC. It tasted very watery and uninteresting. I’m told that some people really like this beer. I sure hope I just got a bad one.

Some malt and hop flavor. Gold with a lacing head. Far better than average for the style.
