Has an odd lactic sour note in the nose with a hint of stale grain. The flavor is pretty simple; pale grains, light lemon and some light hay/grassiness. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Ok for a quick drinking beer but nothing you would ever want to come back to again.

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 24, 2009 had one of these at a family gathering. what can i say, it’s a very light beer. no body at all. off golden color with a white head. i didn’t get much of a discernible taste out of it. it went okay with meat, but with no taste, that is not saying much. i’d never buy it. zdk (232), New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 16, 2009 bottle: smells definitely lagery, which is a bit odd. That is to say, yeast and grain. Taste is a bit better... thin and light, but a little flat definitely a refreshing brew. The color is a pale yellow and white head. williamherbert (466), Syracuse, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Cloudy, golden, sunny yellow. Minor snow white head. Lots of carbonation. Nice golden look.
The smell is German lagerish malt. Very bitter; deep, rich and heavily roasted grains. Not a wimpy aroma.
The taste is bitter as hell like the German/amberish malts of a Heineken. But also has an English, bready base. Hint of ringwoody (okay fine, chlorine) sourness.
The feel is like a real English ale, or a cream ale. Adds the perfect amount of substance. It’s a damn good, thick golden ale. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 21, 2009 12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 4.0 (thanksj12601). Pours a hazy amber/gold with a fluffy white head. Nose is spicy yeast. Taste is grainy... bread, hay, grass and a little spice. Body and thin and finish is dry, is a bit watery. Some ash in the aftertaste. An almost ok beer if not for the finish/aftertaste. jcwattsrugger (5374), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
