Feb 20, 2004 Nice light aroma. Flavor was slightly hoppy, but well balanced, and not too bitter. Very smooth overall, but nothing really special.

Feb 17, 2004 Pale yellow straw color, with a fastly fading head. The aroma is indistinguishable, nothing really stand out in this one. The flavor is light and slightly sweet, but again nothing really stands out here.

Jan 9, 2004 Yeah, I'm not generally a "lager person," but this is -- I believe -- the best lager I've had to date. Nice golden appearance, decent head that fizzled out quickly; malty and slightly hoppy. Unfortunately, way too expensive in this area for a lager when other options from Sam Smith's exist that are more enticing.

Jan 5, 2004 Pale gold, thin foamy head. Smells like sweet white grape juice, a little metallic and bitter. It does have a nice lightly bitter flavor. The taste is a bit metallic but it's pretty good. Not the best Samuel Smith but good effort.

Jan 2, 2004 This beer exibited a light malt and cardboard nose with some hops evident. It is an impressive deep gold colour. Flavour is largely of sweet malt with a touch of hops in the background. It finishes dry with some lingering bitterness. I would have liked more hop presence but as far as lagers go this is ok.

Dec 30, 2003 More of a Pilsner than a lager. Nice golden color; looks like perfect apple juice. Good dry finish.
