| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 2, 2005 Golden amber, minimal soapy/ringy white head. Light sweet buttery malt aroma... nothing interesting. Kind of the same with the flavor. Light grainy and caramelly malt with light pilsenery hops. Almost has butterscotchy hints to it. Smooth and crisp. DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 2, 2005 Light amber body. Granola and grainy carmel malt in the aroma. Leafy hops in the background. The hops are more pronounced in the flavor, I’d say they take a front seat to the toasted caramel malt taste. Effervescent noble hops. hezron (604), Viroqua, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 28, 2005 Bottle-A yellow color with a very small white head that faded quickly. Smells of malty hay and just a tiny hint of grass. The hops don’t stand out that much to me. Tastes lightly sweet, malty, just a hint of honey with a grass-hoppy aftertaste, again not too strong. Texture is almost creamy. I like the way it feels. PhillyBeer2112 (2089), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 27, 2005 Very clear, lively golden color, medium firm head, fading. Nice spicy aroma! Layers of buttered malts underneath those hops. Dammit, that’s a nice smooth lager, well built sophisticated hop flavors. Malts come through much cleaner across the palate than in the nose, finish is balanced. Could use more bubbles. I could make a real habit of this one!

Tastes malty, with some hopcit, honey, and a grassy finish. Not bad. Decent complexity for a lager. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA
