Dogbrick (2816), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 6, 2009 Broke out this gem to help JaBier check one of the last styles off his list. The beer is a pale yellow color with a thin and fizzy white head that disappears quickly. Minimal lacing on the glass. Mild hops aroma with a bit of grain. Light body with mildly bitter hops and grainy malt flavors. The finish is short with a grassy hops note that actually has some flavor. Nothing exciting, but actually better than a lot of the non-NA Pale Lagers out there. JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA Oct 5, 2009 12oz bottle shared by Dogbrick. Clear yellow pour with a medium white head. Skunky aroma with some malt and a bit of hop. Watery and somewhat malty flavor with a bit of hop at the end. About what I expected out of my first ever taste of a NA beer. Ughsmash (3981), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Aug 23, 2009 Bottled. Poured clear light-medium golden with a well-retained cap of white head. The aroma was sweet with toasted grains and bready notes accented by a little grassy character.. smells like the brewing process was cut short rather than extracing the booze after the fact. The flavor was sweet again with sourdough bread and Cheerios at the core.. more bitter than expected on the edges with grassy notes, amplified by prickly carbonation.. soaked grains on the short, sweet finish. Light-bodied and rather sharp on the palate (combination of bitterness, some sourness, and carbonation).. not bad overall. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Jul 25, 2009 Yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grain, with a little sulphur and cardboard. Sweet grainy malt flavour with just a hint of hops. durhambeer (1187), Durham, USA Apr 16, 2009 Bottle. Dunno, this didn’t seem that bad to me at all. Pretty inoffensive, and tastes somewhat like beer. Pale yellow, decent head, light watery palate. Some grainy and grassy hop notes. Not terrible. oh6gdx (8802), Vasa, Finland Sep 29, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Yellow colour, small head. Aroma is malts, some hay and quite nice hoppyness. Flavour is the same. Watery, but not that harsh. A quite pleasant Low Alcohol beer. dkachur (2318), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Aug 8, 2008 11.2 oz bottle from Market Street Wineshop[ Downtown Charlottesville. Pours a clear orange with a big frothy white head. Very sweet grain and corn aroma with some skunk. Very grainy taste and bitter in a bad way. Some cardboard. gnoff (3560), Göteborg, Sweden Aug 3, 2008 (33 cl bottle at Haket, Göteborg) On August 1, 2008 BB 12.09.08 Clear straw yellow color, fluffy white head. Sweet, malty, wort, corn scent, also sugary and a bit stale. Malty, bitter, sweet, thin, harsh taste. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness. Harsh afterbitterness.
