Pours clear copper, little visible carbonation, small grey head. Malty, sweet aroma with some grassy hops. Taste is bitter, slightly grainy. Mineral taste to the malt. Finishes with a more traditional grassy bitter hop. Medium bodied. This actually did remind me of a "premium" beer. Most of those supposed premium lagers are awful with horrible metallic bitterness. This was stylistically similar, but not offensive. Decent.

does not count  Sep 4, 2008 I can’t wrap my head around what the aftertaste is...I’m sure it’s my underdeveloped pallate, but I swear it tastes like olives.
Either way, "Hella Good" to me does not mean "bitter, olive aftertaste"

Aug 28, 2008 So I’m not generally a huge fan of the brewery...and wasn’t a huge fan of LTD 01...but I really did think this was an enjoyable beer. Clean 14 karat brew with solid 1-inch head that left ample lacing. Aroma of citrus, yeast, and caramel. Taste includes a touch of honey sweetness but exhibits grassy/citrus notes as well. Tasty, refreshing, impressive.

Aug 27, 2008 pours a clear honey color with a light tan head. smells largely of yeast with notes of orange, warm spiciness, caramel-y grain and grass. a bit too malt/sweet on the palate for what the flavor offers in return... awful lot like the aroma. yeasty, caramel grain and a clean dry spiced finish. medium to fuller bodied from the residuals and quite buttery. easy drinking for sure but a bit boring.

Aug 25, 2008 A golden lager with a thin creamy off white head. A pleasant herbal malt, crisp and biscuitty. In mouth, a very crisp malt with light German hopping. Medium bodied. Tasted in August 2007.
