12oz. Bottle: Aroma is slight. Smells of corn, malt, and piney hops. Poured golden with a hint of amber and a small white head that diminished quickly. Fair lacing. Clear and sparkling. Flavor is very mild. Slightly sweet, lightly bitter. Tastes of bittering hops mainly. Light body. Thin and oily. Lively carbonation. Medium-length, medium bitter finish. Overall, a very average, though drinkable, lager.

12oz bottle (thanks to The Epeeist) poured copper/gold color with a huge foamy white head. Aroma was pepper, lemon, sweet malt, lager yeast, caramel and some hops. Taste was almost like a belgian beer with some pepper flavor. Asmall hop bitterness with a dry caramel malt finish. Overall not a very enjoyable brew.

Bottle. Pale orange pour with a small ring of foam. Aroma is malty and spicy and quite nice. Almost saison-ish in some regards, with tangerine and black pepper. Smooth drinking, a bit watery. Sessionable though not so m uch as I’dve liked.

Bottle. Poured a clear golden body with decent size head. Aroma is hoppy. Flavor is a little hoppy with malt and a lemon/lime citrus aftertaste. Smooth. Near the end of the glass the taste of spaghetti squash came to me, odd. Good vienna.

Pours dark yellow/gold with a minimal creamy white head. Lightly swet, malty aroma. Light spicy hops, and mild sweet malt background in the flavor. Palate is light but thick, mildly bitter, and balanced. Real decent vienna, but kind of like of a Brooklyn lager light in the hop department.

12 oz. bottle via trade with Ty5592 - Pours a clear golden color with a one finger thick white head. Very soft carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma is grain, light dust, and grassy hops. Also a tad bit of skunk. Flavor is light hops with a good bit of bitterness. Medium body. A decent Lager. Thanks Ty.

A solid lager that puts the log in lager: Much more tast than your typical lagers. A great Summer beer, best enjoyed while boating....

Bottle (rating from August 2005 notes). Golden color with a white head. Straw, cider aroma with a musty dry flavor.
