| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 20, 2007 12 oz bottle, via kenb. Pours a clear gold colored body under a small very fizzy off-white head that faded quickly. Aroma is pretty light, some doughy malt and corn notes mostly. A quite noticable amount of DMS spoils the fun. Light flavor as well. A little malt up front, then the corn and DMS rule the finish. Mouthfeel is thin and light bodied as expected with moderate fizzy forced carbonation. This was a problem beer for sure. An unacceptable level of DMS wouldn’t let me focus on anything else. luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 7, 2007 Bottled. Beer is clear, medium-hued gold. Head is initially largish, frothy, white. Diminishes quickly, leaving a ring and some specks of lace on the snifter.<P>
The aroma is, again, more than I was expecting. It’s malty with light notes of toasted grain, biscuits, caramel; Hoppy with moderate floral notes reminiscent of honeysuckle; Yeasty with a trace of sharp cheddar cheese; Trace of vanilla.<P>
The flavor is moderately-to-heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter with an average-length, lightly acidic, lightly bittersweet finish. Little metallic in the aftertaste and a little watery.<P>
The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P>
Drinkable and exceeds the expectations I’ve developed based on word of mouth. hopscotch (5487), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 3, 2007 Bottle purchased at Bodega Blue... Sparkling clear yellow ale with a small, frothy, white head. Strange, earthy nose of sweaty socks, jalapeño, white pepper and mild acidity. Sweet, tangy flavor with modest herbal bitterness and biscuity malts. Medium-bodied with a whole-milk mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. Crisp finish. Better than expected! soulkitchen (2), USA does not count | 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2007 Thin ehit head that didn’t stick around, very clear, kinda piny, but didn’t have that much taste with alot of carbonation. ford9719 (369), Vilseck, Germany

Sweet-n-stale malt aroma. Very very light hops.
Fruity amber malt taste, a little watery and lightly sweet hopped.
Okay, but not too good.
