| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a foamy, off-white head and a clear copper body. Aroma of honey, caramel and a bit of cardboard. Overall pretty sweet and bready. Taste is cereal, biscuit and light hops. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel. nbutler11 (771), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 6, 2009 Bonus bottle from a trade with blipp. Pours like an IPA - bright copper in color with steady carbonation and a trim off-white head. Smells like a pilsner, very yeasty, but with a touch of mint. Tastes of tangerines and cereal. An odd combination of flavors, but fairly balanced. revans (37), Salem, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Had both bottle and tap. Better on tap. Great overall look. Nice head and leaves alot of lace. Good malt and hops aroma. Clean finish but somewhat heavy mouthfeel. A decent beer. arrogantb (715), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 29, 2009 I don’t think I’ve ever had this style before so this should be interesting in one way or another. I got this from mashmaster which is irrelevant to the review but appreciated. Clear, bubbly, golden but not yellow with a good creamy head listing on top. Smells like lager and honeycrisps. Do you know what those are because I don’t but that is what I smell. Nice flavor but I have a really hard time describing lagers. I definitely tasted a hint of hops. Overall, nice beer and if I wasn’t so lager-ignorant this review might be more useful.

Was an attractive light golden color with a good sized head and good head retention. The aroma was of hopps and of malts. The flavor tasted of good cereal grains and malts. The hopps are balanced nicely. A good brew! dchmela (1458), Orlando, Florida, USA
