Dec 6, 2008 Not a real fan of lagers so this is not really something that I would normally enjoy. I will say that,compared to other premium lagers, this was is superior in flavor and aroma. That being said, for the type of hops used in this brew does not really compare to other ales which employ similar hop characteristics. I would say the hops are only slightly detectable in this brew, which is certainly saying something for a general lager, but not much else.

Dec 3, 2008 Old reliable. This beer has been my saving grace at countless restaurants and bars with underdeveloped beer lists. It has a strong, bright, hoppy flavor that stays with you and is always better than any other macro.

Dec 1, 2008 Orange-amber pour into a thin off-white frothy head which mostly dissipates. Lively carbonated bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass pooling into light lacings that hang on the glass. Aroma of roasted caramel malts and toasted wheat bread that balance with hints of piney hops and sweet citrus. Initial flavor of malty sweet bread which quickly fades into light hoppy bitterness.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle, 355ml. Pours clear amber, with half-decent white head, with some lacing. Decent aroma of hops, and full-bodied yeast, sweet malt, with notes of toffee on the palate. A good, well-rounded, lager.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Dark orange colour with a small off-white head. Sweet, hoppy aroma. Nice aromatic hoppy flavour with fruits and sweet malts. Medium-bodied, quite smooth and slight bitterness in the finish. Good, balanced lager.

Nov 28, 2008 Coloração âmbar, espuma bege de média formação e duração, deixando uma fina camada perene. Excelente equilíbrio entre malte e lúpulo, tanto no aroma quanto no sabor. Possível presença de mel, tendo em vista que há um adocicado, principalmente no aroma. Agradabilíssimo amargor. O lúpulo se destaca! Ótima drinkability. Cerveja de excelente conjunto. Não deixe de provar.

Nov 27, 2008 Hands down the best mass produced domestic beer. Unlike other "lagers" that are produced in the USA, this one actually has some substance. Full bodied, aromas of spices, hops, a hint of malt. Pours deep tawny brown, great head. It’s a quality beer, no doubt about it.

Nov 21, 2008 Pours a brassy color with about a finger worth of white head.
The aroma actually speaks of hops blended with wheat and yeast.
The wheat taste hits upfront followed by a yeasty flavor. The hops do not hit until the finish where their earthy presence can be picked up. Rather well balanced for a lager.
As always with Sam, the carbonation is a bit much, but the viscosity is just fine.
This is a very drinkable brew. I wasn’t always a fan of this brew probably due to it’s slightly watery quality but it has grown on me. Still, I think this brew is way over-hyped, just my opinion.
