Clear golden-amber hints. Frothy, white head. Mild citrus, malt, grain/bread, yeast, and grass aroma notes. A full-bodied lager with mild sweet malts and citrus hop balance. Crisp, refreshing with mild bitter finish.

Good session beer. one of the best lagers in the world to this beer critic. slight malty, bready aroma with hint of alcohol. excellent golden appearance. can taste hops with rich malt compliment, super clean finish. very impressive. fits its commercial description well.

An old favorite from college that I can say I’ve missed since it was retired. I was very happy to pick up a few six packs when it came out again. The aroma is doughy & yeasty with a faint hop aroma. Color is a very faint amber color with a nice big fluffy head that leaves a good lace. Honestley this is a very nice beer to look at. Taste is very good for the style, crisp light hoppiness with a deeper maltier flavor than Leines original, I’m certian that this isn’t all malt but it seems far more honestley "maltier" than other beers of this style. I feel like I keep saying "for the style" which probabaly does not do justice to this beer, because it is overall a very nice beer, I’m honestley suprised that after all these years (and a whole lot more experience with beer) this is still a great brew.

delish, pours golden, and taste like a part of heaven. Can’t go wrong here.

Pours a medium gold with orange-amber, more color than any other pale lager I have seen, has a spritzy white head that falls to a ring quickly, this beer left some half way decent bubbly lacing on the glass, aroma of some malt, light bread and faint corn, has a malt flavor which is more then any other pale lager I tried so far even though I have not tried any of the higher end lagers, has a small citrus bitterness with a small carbonation bite, the carb bite is bigger then the hops, finish is a light bitterness that is pretty short, sort of thin mouth feel with lots of carbonation on the palate, not a bad beer at all and at a decent price which makes this a easy choice over the macros.

Pretty good little session brew here.. Clear golden appearance and surprisingly malty aroma lead to a better than average taste of some sweet malts, biscuits and a little hop finish. Better than average session lager.

Bottle, bought after leinies re-released this for a limited time. Clear, dark amber with a fizzy white head. Aroma is a grainy sweetness with a bit of malt. Flavor is crisp grain, doughy malt and a hint of bitterness. Brief, malty finish. Not a bad pale lager.

Beer flavored seltzer. Very unappealing to this critic. Unpromising nose, flabby mouth, nice appearance.
