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. Pours a golden color with a decent head that dies quicly. The aroma is very faint, of sweet malts with a grainy trace. A bland flavor with not much going on, there’s some malt, but not much. Flavor is extremely understated and watery.

Labeled as an "Unfiltered Lager," and now I know why. Too bad I poured it into a glass. Cloudy golden, haze fills the glass as the yeast settles on the bottom. Sorry but the yeast kinda looks funky. I should have stayed with the filtered lager, I guess. Very light lemony aroma, would make a great summer beer.

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.
