Bottle thanks to Dmac. Pours out a golden color with lively carbonation and a slight white head. Aroma of sticky sweet malts, grain and maybe a slight grassy hop note. Taste is of sweet malts, cereal grain and maybe a touch of hops, but not much. FOr a pale lager, not that bad.

12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of malts and grains. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, rocky, off-white head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of skunk, grains, and caramel. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Skunk and grain finish.

12 ounce bottle as "unfiltered lager" in Sam Adams glass. Pale hazy golden orange with ring. Grassy honey slightly vegetal aroma. Very light honey vanilla with extremely dry flavorless finish. Medium body. Slightly harsh carbo. Not horrible.

Bottle. Aroma of stale citrus, iced tea, some toasted character. Flavor has the same odd citrus notes with so much iced tea-like sweetness and some balancing graininess. Thinnish body (though not for the style certainly) and a bit cloying. Not a fan.

12 oz bottle from a variety pack purchased at Jonathan Ron. Poured a rather good looking clear golden body sitting underneath a large foamy bright white head. Aroma was dusty malts, grains and a slight honey sweetness. Medium bodied with stronger carbonation that has a nice little bitter bite on the back end. Flavor is only a slight step up from the aroma with the dustiness being gone and grainy malts and cereal mostly remaining, some caramel and more bread round this one out. Not bad by any means but by no means does this one justify the almost $9.00 price tag per six pack, especially since this is brewed in state.

Bottle. Pours a semi-cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet floral hops, lagery carboardy malt. Flavor is sweet initially with citrus and light fruits and a malty finish. Pretty decent beer and great for a pale lager. Very refreshing. 7/4/7/4/14 Ɠ.6/5)

12 oz bottle, pours a clear pale yellow color, minimal head. Aroma typical of a pale lager, perhaps with a bit more floral hoppiness. Flavor was bitter as expected but not too rough on the palate. Nothing special, but its 100 degrees today so it sure hit the spot.
