| 0.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Mar 30, 2003 The prototypical lager/pils light golden yellow color on the pour, head small and bright white, and lace adequate. Nose typical lager malt, start sweet, top cadaverous, finish watery, mildly acidic, sparsely hopped, dry and totally forgettable.

| 0.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Feb 2, 2003 Bright pale gold with white fading head (Bubbly and artificial looking). Light musty and bready aroma. No malt upfront, strong unpleasant bitterness wells up quickly. Lingering taste is a flat bitterness. Further analysis reveals a tinge of corn-like sweetness. Frankly, for an American Light, I'd just as soon have Miller Lite or Bud Light, and at half the price (not that I'd enjoy any of these three). Ernest (4495), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Jan 3, 2003 Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, fully diminishing. Body
is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), lightly hoppy
(herbs), with a note of solvent. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly
bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly bitter, unclean. Light to
medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Disgusting macro lager
clone and just as unpleasant. This is further proof of two things: (1)
you don’t need to use adjuncts to make a bad beer, and (2) nothing says
’sell out’ from a microbrewery like making an American Standard/Light.
Isn’t the Buffalo Gold they brew for Walnut flavorless enough for the
masses!? ’No, we need more plastic aroma and chemical aftertaste in our
own creation!’ Arrgh. Aubrey (2777), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 29, 2002 Updated: Feb 1, 2003Nice head; clear golden. Crisp and effervescent up front. Toasted bread malt flavors. Pretty thick-bodied for a "light lager." Very little hop flavors/aromas/bitterness. Just a nip of "burnt" bitterness in the aftertaste. I might take it over some other light lagers, but it is rather boring.
