| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Bottle via trade thanks to badbeer on BA. Clear golden color with a creamy one-finger white head and good lacing. Aroma is sweet pale malt, corn, and citrusy/grassy hops. Flavor is basically what Budweiser hopes it could be in its wildest dreams. Sweet pilsner malt with some corn/graininess, but in a good way, and grassy, earthy Saaz hops, and a little citrus. Body is medium-light with a fairly dry finish and some hop bitterness lasting. Great example of a rather uninteresting style. zer0crew (60), Duluth, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear golden, with a tiny bit of head that has some nice lacing character. A little sweet and malty with bit of citrus. A very drinkable lager. GMCC2181 (874), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2009 Bottle from stfun? Light orange in color, decent head. Typical lager aroma, light hops and sweet malt. Taste is nice for a lager. Light hops, light crystal malt. Light in texture, easy drinking. Overall...great example of a lager but still boring compared to other craft ales. Thanks josh arkurzynski (99), West Bend, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 22, 2009 Bottle. Pour is an almost clear golden color with a medium white head. Aroma is light maltiness with a pleasant Saaz hop backdrop. Also a touch of bread and cookie in there too. Flavor is mildly sweet up front with a cereal grain kick after that. Finish is mildly hoppy with a mild yeasty/ bready finish. Solid. Pailhead (2602), Allen Park, Michigan, USA

Bottle: The aroma is sweet with some grain, floral notes, and grassy hops. It pours a transparent gold with a moderate white head. The flavor starts lightly sweet with a hint of citrus. The finish has some light floral and grassy hops. I’m not the biggest lager fan, but this is very drinkable. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. csbosox (1082), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 14, 2009 12oz bottle from the brewery. This is the second of two bottles I purchased. Served in a vintage footed pilsner glass that belonged to my grandfather. Lightly toasty, light woodiness, floral hops. The aroma is subtle, but complex. Brilliant clarity, very light straw color with a one fingered white head. The taste is lightly kilned malt, slightly toasty, with some light floral and spicy hops near the end. There is a lingering floral, earthy and woodsy flavor. Full bodied for the style with an absolutely clean, balanced finish. I am brewing a Vienna lager as I drink the beer and I keep on getting notes in the beer that I am getting from my wort. There is a element to this beer that you do not seem to get from a single step, all pils wort, it is more reminescint of my pils and munich malt. This is a very complex, very drinkable lager. I love it. Too bad it is not available in 6 packs as a regular or as a seasonal.
