fishingnet (1045), Brandon, Florida, USA Dec 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear copper with aone finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, noble hops, and a touch of caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Good. tsetlock (66), Livonia, Michigan, USA Dec 31, 2008 Not my first time tasting. Really good lager, and most people are willing to drink it. Pour is a nice deep amber, with a nice mild hoppiness in the nose. Good head and lacing on this beer. Taste is crisp. Initially is slightly hoppy/sweet , then finishes a little bitter, and well balanced with the malt. Very good. MishkinBeer (64), , New York, USA Dec 30, 2008 The lager is clear with a light amber color. The aroma of hops is very slight. There is taste of grains and a good balance between sweet and bitter forces. Minor carbonation that just tickles the tongue. As the beer is swallowed, I found the texture to be somewhat watery. The aftertaste consists primarily of hops with a touch of orange peel. A solid lager, but nothing to write home about. JaBier (1130), Capital City, Ohio, USA Dec 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours clear amber with a huge white head. Aroma of hops, lager yeast and malt. Lagery flavor with a good amount of malt and a hop finish. Pretty good for a lager. martin21 (156), Quebec city, Quebec, Canada Dec 28, 2008 Surprenament bonne, biere facilement buvable. Beaucoup d aromes et de saveurs pour une premium lager.
Surprisingly good, easy drinking beer. Lots of aromas and flavors for a premium lager. satan165 (541), River Grove, Illinois, USA Dec 27, 2008 a revelation beer for me. very well hopped for a mainstream available wide distribution macro beer (and a lager at that). i remember so long ago when i didnt understand what that pine flavor was in this beer, and to be honest i didnt even like it back then. now it all makes sense. very fresh for a lager, well balanced and full bodied. sessionable and enjoyable. ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 26, 2008 12oz bottle and on tap. Pours a clear, light, brown color. Small head with slight retention and little lacing. Smells mainly of hops. Fits the style. Tastes of bitter hops first, then the sweetness of some malt. It is a crisp, smooth, feel with a good blend of hops and malt. Average carbonation. Overall, easy drinking good lager and really smooth.
killjoy966 (215), Washington, USA Dec 24, 2008 Not all lagers have to taste like Bud. A nice bitterness gives this a beer a bite not found in most macro brews. Has a weird metal taste that I found a little disagreeable. I see why this is so popular, though.
