Had on-tap at the King of Prussia location. Aroma: Saaz hop aroma up front with biscuity malt also in the nose. Appearance: Gold color /w decent head retention. Flavor: Malty flavor intermingles with some noble hop flavor, but the toasty malt dominates. Mouthfeel: Very dry finish is kind of harsh, with some astringency. Medium body. Overall: Nice session beer, however the mouthfeel was a little harsh. I did enjoy the malt profile of this beer throughout the drinking session though.

Bleh. Corny, corny, corny. If this won any medals, it had to be after the judges had become inebriated. A wannabe HB housebrew.

I really liked this brew. Got more than I expected. Yes, the appearance and description on the menu would let you think it's just another yellow beer. Far from that. A little sweet, almost like a Dortmunder. The Saaz hops really add a nice touch. Not as sticky as a P-U. Great clean finish. I enjoyed this one with my meal.

same yellow color as a million other beers. Had a grainy flavor. A little more hops than the average beer though.

Tap at Boston location. Light piss-yellow, minimal flavor or aroma. Kind of like a slightly less adjunctive Budweiser. Interchangeable with Evian.

Had this on at the Cambridge, MA location. It had a golden color with what i thought was a nice bitter taste. Very good stuff.

One of the best lagers around. Easy drinking yet you still know your drinking beer unlike all the commercial stuff. Solid.
