| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 26, 2003 Clear straw with small head. Aroma is grassy and moderately sweet, some spice, some lemon. Taste is grassy, slightly sweet, mild spice. Very light carbonation. Quite a good beer -- I didn't even realize it was a light beer until I came to enter my rating! hopdog (5608), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 10, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with lukin013 (thanks!). Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grain and a light lemony citrus. Tastes follow. Thinner body.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 4, 2007 Pours a transparent deep golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Authentic aroma of lightly sweet, pale malt and grain with a touch of noble hops. Body starts fairly thin and lightly sweet with a touch of earthy floral German bittering hops and some grainy malt character. Pretty standard pale lager, but drinkable at least. hopscotch (5511), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Draft… Clear light yellow lager with no head. Sweet, grainy nose with additional notes of toffee and acetaldehyde. Light to medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Sweet and thin with low bitterness – notation of acetaldehyde. Crisp, bland finish. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Bottle courtesy of lukin013. Pours gold with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smells of caramel, some citrus, and sweet malt. Taste is sweet with some light peppery tinges. Average. JoeMcPhee (5025), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 5, 2008 Pale straw-golden colour. Aroma is lightly earthy and citrusy. It’s got a very flinty and leathery character to the malts. It’s pretty infected with a wild mustiness. Dusty and bone dry. Meh. Cornfield (4964), 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."
