Pours tan with a thick white that dissipates quickly. Taste like flat carbonated water with a hint carmel, drinkable but not enjoyable.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a medium sized head of white foam and aromas of euro-skunked hops with a little grass and corn. Flavor is similar... a kind of grainy lager with a little skunky hops. A couple of steps up from macro-swill, but not very interesting.

Dec 3, 2009 Aroma of malty caramel. Nice clear red tinted amber pour, with some nice bubbles. A little too much carbonation makes the beer fizzy in the mouth, makes it difficult to taste much. FIrst time I had this beer I thought it was pretty good, now I am not to sure.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle from a family pack. Pours a nice golden yellow with a decent white head that lasts. Taste and aroma is rather clean. Some malt and hops come through. Some bitterness. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Nov 13, 2009 ( 12oz bottle thanks to angrypirate) He must have been angry to have provided this one. What did I do to deserve this?!
Pours very clear amber, decent bubbly head with ok lacing. Nose of slight sour notes, meaty. The taste has a lager-like bite, grain, tart/old apples. Nice carbonation but a bad aftertaste.
Speaking of which, what exactly was Kosmos RESERVING this beer for?? Probably some in-laws that he hated. Here guys, drink this!

Oct 29, 2009 What a big, frothy white head on this one! Big-bubbled frothy lacing. Clear golden color with slow but steady carbonation. Musky sweet lager aroma. Flavor a little sour and bitter, almost pilsener-like. The top of my mouth feels like it’s shriveling up. Better than I expected: it’s missing that bitter metallic flavor, and that’s a good thing. Mineral water-like finish.

Oct 28, 2009 Light amber and sparkling clear. White head that disappears rapidly. Not much on nose but a hint of grass/straw. Light bodied and not much character or finish for a ’reserve’ beer. Expected much more.
