Mar 15, 2009 The first element in the aroma is sweet malt with a bit of a metallic bite. There is also some grassy hops. The appearance is gold with an amber hue. The head blows up pretty fast and falls even faster. The flavor is really well balanced between sweet malt and hops. The palate is really smooth from carbonation. I was really thirsty when I drank this beer and it was very refreshing and quite flavorful at the same time. It’s not a standout beer but it’s a very solid one.

Mar 5, 2009 Bottle, thanks to Mei. Gold color, with some white film on top. Aroma is wet bread, a little sweetness and rye malt. Flavor is somewhat like a pilsner, crystal malt, eastern european hops. Somewhat metallic mouthfeel, but decently crisp finish.

Feb 7, 2009 I agree with some of the others that this beer simply hasn’t enogh strength to compete with the traditional American ale, but when considered on it’s own without comparison, I found it quite good. It has a mild but pleasant aroma and the flavor, though mild, is quite good. I found it very refreshing and was moved to have more than one. I have bought it again and will continure to do so on occasion
