It looks more like a wheat than a pale/premium lager. Nice lacing. Once the head settles, there is very little on the nose: just sweet malt and yeasty, bread dough notes. Light-bodied with a soft graininess and a mildly sour finish. The flavor profile is certainly different from and better than a typical macro lager: sweet, grainy malt, a lightly sour citrus note, sourdough and a touch of metal at the finish. While I generally dislike beers that display any metallic notes, this brew is quite drinkable and a solid example of the style. If you’re in AZ and looking for a thirst quencher, to cut the heat, you could do a lot worse. BelgianBeerGal (1302), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 19, 2008 Bottled. Slightly hazy orange/gold colour with a thin but foamy white head. Aroma of slightly sweet grapefruit hops. Nice aroma for a pale lager. Pleasant flavour that finishes with a strange floral-rose flavour. Nice pale lager, better than average, but the finish confused me a bit. SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA

Light aroma of grain and malt, with some floral sweetness. flavor is also slightly sweet, with some nice grain notes, and a bit of a bitter finish. Not bad at all. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jan 22, 2008 12 oz bottle via cbkschubert (thanks!). Pours a hazy amber with an average sized beige head. Nose is herbal hops. Taste is malty though, with some fruity esters, and a bit of herbal/spicy hops in the end. Body is medium, carbonation a bit high. This one is almost ok, but the flavors just to not fit well together....needs a different yeast/hops combo or something. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA
