Jul 26, 2008 Poured golden. Aroma - light grainy. Taste - sweet, floral hops with a touch of citrus. Very pleasant actually. I’m not a big fan of pale lagers, but New Glarus has done better than most with this style.

Jul 21, 2008 This beer pours a pronounced sparkling gold. Small head but it laces all over the glass.
Smells like cut grass, hay, lemon zest; very summery. Sweetness is obvious. A bit like white wine.
Taste is clean and a bit watery but refreshing. I think that’s the angle. This mops the floor with any other macro in taste but it’s very similar at the same time.
Mouthfeel is light and watery. So what? That doesn’t mean it’s a bad beer.
Drinkability is off the charts.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle thanks to James. Clear yellow pour without a significant head. The beer is what it is: a very drinkable lager. Good that way.

Jul 9, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Very little floral aroma. Not much taste - a hint of corn. Not much to this beer. It is what Dan wanted.

Jul 5, 2008 Crystal clear golden color with a quickly dissipating white head, leaving no lacing. Smell is pretty faint, flowery and a touch of honey. Taste is of honey and corn, paired with the same soft flowery notes perceived in the smell. I don’t think it could get much better for the style. Medium carbonation with light/medium body. Great to drink, a simple beer, but I enjoyed it.

Jun 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold with a medium white head.Lot of carbonation.Light hop aroma.light body. This beer makes a good lager but nat a extra pale. My rating is kind of low due to the fact i’m not a big lager fan. The folks at the New Glarus Brewing Co. do make excellant beers though!

Jun 17, 2008 Updated: Jun 18, 2008while this style has basically been invented for breweries such as miller & budweiser, new glarus does a fairly good job at it. part of the reason for the low rating may be that the style is kind of bad. in any case, i would probably think of it as a better version of budweiser.

Jun 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a straw yellow color and is crystal clear and an aggressive white head that eventually simmers down to a nice size ring that laces very well. Nose is sweet smelling with hints of cookie dough...? VERY light flavor. Tastes like what the Big 3 should shoot for. Just a little malt sweetness in the flavor, not a lot of bitterness to speak of. This would be a good transition beer for people too afraid to try craft beer.
