Brewed by Mendocino Brewing Company
Style: Premium Lager

Draft @ Lanesplitter, Berkeley, CA. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Has a malty fruity grainy aroma. Sweetish malty and grainy flavor. Has a fruity malty grainy finish.

They call this a premium lager. This beer tasted like a hombrew kit made with all malt extract and no hops. I would rather drimk a Bud or Miller over this crap. They actually say lightly hopped in description. HAAHAA

worst beer i’ve ever tasted, not being dramatic at all. if diet rite had a beer, i imagine it would taste like red tail lager. don’t buy this beer

Bottle with Butters at the First Cellar Reduction. Pours eggshell head and an amber body. Sweet nose. Overripe flavor that reminds me of sweet potatoes. Light finish. Quaffable.

Pours a clear medium amber with thin ring of offwhite head. Sweet malt aroma and flavor. Some honey. Easy drinking. Nice session beer.

2008 Bottle. A light, hoppy beer that was perfect to accompany pizza. Not watery, as though some might think, but merely sensitive in its use of hops. Light yellow color with very little head. A decent beer, but probably not one I’d be dying to try again.

Bottle. Amber beer with a whitish head. Bready aroma with a bit of grass. Buttery flavor with some spice and grass backed by a bit of malt and lemony citrus. Medium. Grass and butter linger with the malt.

Pours copper with a good sized soapy light tan head. The aroma is grainy pale malt, light butter and light spice. Medium body with lots of semi-soft carbonation. Starts wtih smooth malt, butter, some spice and light smooth fruitiness. If this had more of a grainy taste and less butteriness it would help tremendously. The finish adds a bit of spicy hops. An okay lager.
