| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Sulphury lager aromas, grains with traces of caramel. Pours golden blonde, crystal clear. Actually not as bad as i thought it would be. There’s really just not a lot of flavor, cereal grains, mild caramel, with little hints of grassy hops. SoLan (1425), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Gold. White carbonation. Stale grains and a bit of petting zoo on the nose. Flavor adds some biscuity elements. Basic lager. Walking a tigh rope between offensive and not. bb (2919), Martinez, California, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Light amber color with a pillowy white head. Decent head retention.
Aroma: Light grassy hop notes and some cracker notes on the malt side.
Flavor: Nice balance between the grassy hops and bready malt. Slight malt sweetness pairs well against generous hops. Really not bad!
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium, slightly bitter finish.
Overall: Not sure why people are bashing this one. It is exactly what you would expect from Costco. Good quality at a very affordable price. I would take this over BMC any day of the week. More importantly, it really isn’t a bad beer compared other craft brews. whiterabbit81 (244), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Pours a mid/light copper with a thick, white, attractive head. Aroma is sweet yeast and corriander - very much like a hefe. Moderately thick body. Flavor starts moderately sweet and caramel, but takes an odd turn towards bitterness. Ends bitter, dry, and disappointing. BückDich (4851), McCall, Idaho, USA

Some biscuit and up front fruity hops. Tinny metallic mouthfeel and a yeasty finish. Fairly generic. vacantskies (85), Spokane, Washington, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 17, 2009 Bottle from the KIRKLAND Costco, thanks scrizz! Pours kinda dark for a PALE lager, somewhat lacy white head. A bit of bread and grass in the aroma. Nutty taste. Nice rounded body, medium carbonation and crisp finish. This beer seems to be a lot closer to a Marzen than a pale lager.
