| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 20, 2003 Murky, dark golden color. White sticky head with clingy lacing. Chemical-like aroma. Flavor is slightly bready with some trailing yeastiness. Overall, slightly sour. Thick mouthfeel but it gets lost with a very artificial, pasty aftertaste. Overall, not a bad lager but leaves you feeling if something is missing. Needs work. Aurelius (2652), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 7, 2003 A really nice woodland label with the deer, which I've been seeing littering the road up here in Virginia. Dry malty and bready aroma. Nothing much going on in the flavor -- crackery, a little musky. Initially a little overcarbonated. A crisp and tart finish with some residual muskiness. I was a little disappointed in this regional, but the price wasn't bad. haddon90 (1036), Alexandria, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2003 Light, clear golden color with little to no head. Hoppy/malty balanced aroma. Smooth and crisp taste. One of the better lagers I've had! On tap at the City Cafe in Manassas, VA. UNCCTF (465), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2003 I never expect much from any lager, but this is a very complex brew. Malty aroma and up-front mouthfeel, but it had a very interesting sour aftertaste that did nothing but add to the experience. Excellent beer. brownaler (379), Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA

Forms a large white head with lacing in a not so clean glass. A nice and crisp taste that is soft in front and just a little weak in the back. One of my new favorite lagers. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia

The absolute best lager I've ever had. Before this beer I thought lager was synonomous with american macrobrew crap, but this beer is like no other. Golden body with a generous, thick white head. Smells hoppy. Flavor is a large amount of hops up front with tasty oatmeal malt and yeast. Definately try this beer, it will change your opinion on Lagers. Had this off tap during the Old Dominion Brewery Tour in Ashburn, VA. DEbeer (192), West Virginia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 14, 2003 This is a good lager. It is something like dominion's ale but without the aggressive hop presence.
