| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 19, 2009 Clear, dark gold or light amber. Large, nicely retained off-white head, streaky lace. Floral hops aroma, fresh-mown hay, a bit of bread. Flavor leads with a buzz of floral hops, not much to its malts, off flavors are not overpowering but are present, just a bit of huskiness and metallicity on the finish. Thin body, somewhat dry. I had lower expectations than this. A pleasant surprise. MadIndian (997), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Pours with a fading white head and a pale yellow body. Aroma of grape, cardboard, fruit and honey. Taste is honey, water and cardboard. Dry, thin and watery. Waste of grain and minimal hops. Cavie (1490), Fort Worth, Texas, USA

| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Aug 19, 2009 12oz twist-off bottle. 92 calories! Thin amber color. Aroma of light skunk, light corn. Flavor is a touch sour. Lots of corn. Very watery. And too think I let this Pale Lager force its way past my IPA ratings. ChainGangGuy (2608), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Aug 15, 2009 Appearance: Brilliant, albeit very light amber body with a thin, scant, white head.
Smell: Near vacant nose with just faint, fleeting wisps of grains. Cue the jazz flute!
Taste: Faint malts with the merest, most merciful touches of simple grains. Lightly sweet. Mild bitterness. Dryish, altogether weak finish.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Watery mouthfeel.
Drinkability: I believe it was Louis Armstrong that once said: "If you have to ask what an instantly forgettable, bland light lager is, you’ll never know." Something like that.
