| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 20, 2003 Hazy tan; some biscuity malts, bitter hops in the back. Ideas not fully realized... BBB63 (4274), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 10, 2003 Hazy golden hue with little head and no lace. The aroma hints of roasted malts, lemongrass, white grape, musty attic, and peanuts. The taste was straight forward aromatic hop with minor citrus twang with an undertone of european malt. A hint of nut and cardboard as well. Thin-bodied with a soft and flat mouthfeel. Very weak beer, will not have again. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 1, 2006 There’s either a weird malt or a weird hop used that gives this lager an odd flavor - I think it’s the malt. On the plus side, it’s rather flat and is semi-sweet with lots of opaque murk, plenty of malt used, and no shortage of flavor for a lager. Clearly, this is a craft brew. I overall like it but, again, there was something odd in the taste that reminded me of an English ale (in a not so good way). Silphium (2160), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2003 Poured golden orange, with a thin off-white ring of foam. Spicy hops and a touch of toast in the light aroma. Flavor was very crisp and hoppy, with cerealy, biscuity malts in the front followed by grassy, spicy hops and a touch of light fruitiness. Impeccably refreshing. A good session lager from the folks at Kraftbrau, and very reminiscent of some of the brews produced by O'Fallon in Missouri. PhillyBeer2112 (2090), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | May 14, 2003 Buttery and perfumy aroma, with clear almond-extract in the nose. Bright gold with small head. Lightly carbonated and roundly sweet. Balanced mildly sweet finish. Almond presence is very light in the flavor, but is still there. Schroppfy (1813), Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 13, 2002 Very much like their Helles, just a touch lighter in the mouth and softer on the tastebuds...but not much. Lots of malt actions. joet (1709), Fulton, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2003 Where does he get these things? PsychProf is a MAGNET for complex, rough hewn brews. Hazy, dim and with earthy, salty aromas this thing is wild. Packed full of lemon and other citrus, cracker and full and hefty hop flavors -- this gives a nod to hop power while still preserving balance. Very nice. daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 18, 2003 Slightly hazy golden color. Nose is fruity with a touch of malt. The body has plenty of malt bite accentuated by a fruity hoppiness. Finishes balanced with a touch of alcohol and a slight bitterness. A fairly nice lager, I wonder if this brewery has stepped up their processes in the last year?
