Aug 29, 2008 Not my first time tasting, but I might as well go ahead and rate it. This is my standby beer that I know I will be able to find anywhere. Really good lager, and most people are willing to drink it. Great for parties, etc. Pour is a nice amber, with a nice mild hoppiness in the nose. Good head on this beer. Taste is crisp. Slightly hoppy and well balanced with the malt. Very satisfying.

Aug 29, 2008 I’ve had this beer so many times I can’t even count the frequency or locations. A downside to living in south Florida is that, at the majority of establishments, this is the best beer available. A typical pour is an amber color with a fingernail of off-white head. The nose is floral, citrusy hops. Same flavors with bread-like malts and a pleasantly balanced hop presence. The aroma is usually better than the flavor. Medium carbonation and body. This beer will usually pair well with steaks and similar cuisine. For a macrobrew, I find this to be better than average. Is it just me or does this have more qualities of an ale than a lager?

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle and Draught. Pour is amber and the nose is hops and sweet malts. It all falls a bit flat when it touches your lips. Biscuit and good hopping with a light body. Great when your at that bar that offers nothing else decent.

Aug 28, 2008 Flowery-hoppy aroma on this dark golden lager. Sooooo many promisses in the nose, yet it turns out to be an Amber in disguise... though better than most, it’s bready in the classic Amber sense. The hops are up front, though they’re mild by IPA standards and the yeast is their king. Fresh baked bread rules.

Aug 27, 2008 Updated: Sep 3, 2008Mainly smells like clean citrus and grain, slightly on the uneventful side as far as aroma goes. Amber color pour with a small white head. Pretty good hop flavor, and very smooth. Leaves a slight grass flavor in your mouth. Not bad.

Aug 26, 2008 Poured a medium and clear orange color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of toasted grains, some citrus, and some caramel. Tastes of caramel and some citrus. A little grassy too.
