| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 7, 2009 Slightly amber, an overwhelming ammount of floaties....I gotta wonder if this was filtered even once. Soup like. Poured a huge thick white head that has amazing retension and produces awsome lacing. I just wish this beer was a bit clearer...if you don’t put it up to a light it doesn’t look that bad. Aroma is dry and has some fruity qualities with a touch of appealing chemical scent (very mild) and lots of malt. Fairly fresh considering. Taste is alomst pure dry dusty malts. Has a foamy taste and feel, whatever that means. Straight ahead one dimensional flavour. Maybe the taste of alcohol without the taste of alcohol...??? Light to medium bodied, fairly smooth with soft carbonation. Dry, powerdery feel too. Nice balance of bitterness. Dry biscuity feel and aftertaste. Interesting beer. For some reason I think I may buy more for something different. It’s possible that I really enjoyed this! Tastes a bit watery on the last couple of sips. I drank this on the warm side to enjoy the malts. DuffMan (2770), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 3, 2006 Golden yellow, Huge head. Green hop aroma, similar to a lot of the dutch lagers. Smooth, vigourously carbonated but soft (i.e. not fizzy). Decent pale malt structure and quite generous in the hoppy bitterness. A little boxboard oxidation in the finish, but overall I actually really liked this. presario (3002), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 14, 2006 This company seems to like the 3-pack. Very big long lasting head, try not to be too vigorous in pouring. Gold coloured. Interesting creamy texture and maltiness make this a little more interesting than average.
