May 13, 2009 12oz can from Whole Foods. Pours clear golden with thin white head. Flavor is a nice, crisp bready flavor with some hop bitterness. Some diactyl in the flavor - not enough to ruin it, but enough to make its presence known.

May 12, 2009 I’m not an Oskar Blues expert but from what I’ve tasted, this one doesn’t measure up, not even by a long shot. No spicy, hoppy crispness. Taste a lot like butter. Disappointing to say the least.

May 11, 2009 Enjoyed in a mug from the 12 oz can. To be honest, I was really excited to try this one. I have enjoyed all of the other widely-distributed Oskar Blues products, and have absolutely loved all of them. However, I was, to say the least, extremely disappointed by this one. It pours a crystal clear pale golden color...no problems there. However, issues start with the nose. Instead of notes of German or Czech noble hops; perhaps done in an "over-the-top" way as with the rest of the O.B. products, this smells nothing like hops. I got notes of stale pilsner malt. Little improves in terms of flavor. Instead of the crisp pilsner malt note and dry backbone one expects in a a great pils, you get the sense that this is simply a dressed up Budweiser. Also, there were very detectable notes of DMS; entirely unacceptable in a production beer. What a shame.

May 10, 2009 Pours a light gold with a thick white head.Creamy malt aroma with a nice hop balance. Smooth crisp malt body and a pronounced hop bitterness. Not my favorite style, but this is a tasty lawnmower beer.
