120z bottle. Hazy, golden, peachy hue. Large amount of sediment. Slight banana and citrus hop nose. Cloudy, sticky, yeasty body. Crisp and smooth. Finish is sugary. Comparitively, I thought that it was quite nice.

Pours hazy gold with a one-finger white head. Very yeasty aroma with a dose of earthy hops. Sweet yeasty flavor with a watery, slightly bitter finish. There are much better lagers.

Weak water beer, slight farty hop flavor, yellow headless flavorless maltless beer. Hope the rest of RH’s brews I bought can do better than this.

on tap-pours a foamy white head with yellow/gold color. Aroma is grain. Taste follows, good carbonation. Light body.

(12oz bottle) Credits to Sean for brining this back from the USA. Pours a thin, white, frothy head that dissipates into a transparent web. Amazingly, it has the nose of hops and grain. The grain however presents itself in a far greater way, along with pine nuts, bitter hops and a buttered-honey finish. Very disagreeable flavour...

Draught at the Porterhouse Restaurant. Clear golden body with a collapsing, sudsy white head. Aroma and flavor suggest lightly toasted pine nuts, buttery pale malt, and shredded wheat. Medium sweet with honey tones and low bitterness. This would be better if it were drier and had a little more hop character. I wish they would ditch the pale lager and shoot for something with a little character, like a Dortmunder perhaps.
