| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | May 27, 2007 Light gold out of the bottle with a thin fizzy white head. The nose has a real macro creamed corn sweetness to it. The flavors include a real artificail sweetness and a metalic note that is just jangling. What hops that are here are really oxidized. It tastes like licking nickels. I suppose this is a functional lawn mower beer, but after the Troegs Pils, this suffers greatly. Delirium (502), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 17, 2007 Draught at the church. Pours light golden with a small white head. Aroma is nondescript, slightly sweet malt. Flavor is typical premium lager... pretty decent but doesn’t stand out. JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 19, 2007 Clear yellow body, white thin head. Fresh, crisp, "Miller-esque" lager flavor. I really enjoy the balaced flavor of this... nice sweetness with a light hop grassiness. Cornfield (4972), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 3, 2007 No way is this a "Pale Lager" as listed. Golden with a slender white head, it has a clean sweet malt aroma with a light grassy/floral bitterness. Nice level of carbonation. The flavor is a sweet pale malt with a balancing herbal/grassy bitterness. Good crisp finish. I checked Church Brew Works’ website and it lists only water, malt, hops, and yeast in its ingredients. Despite the apparent hoppiness, the IBUs are listed at 18. If not a "German Style Pilsner" as proclaimed on the label, this should minimally be categorized as a "Premium Lager."
