| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 8, 2009 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.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 30, 2009 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. wizofoz057 (2), Manasquan, New Jersey, USA does not count | 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 16, 2009 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. michael-pollack (2693), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 16, 2009 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.
