| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 19, 2008 Bottle. BoTM. Poured golden with minimal head. Clean nose with a taste to match. Prototypical lager is how I would describe this. Nothing outstanding about the taste, but nothing off putting either! theisti (1684), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2008 12 oz bottle from eaglefan538. Best before January 09 notched on label. Pour is hazed copper golden with a fluffy 3 inch dirty white head. Some carbonation bubbles are present, and the head falls with a lot of crackling. Aroma has some faint grassy, toasty malt and some floral hoppiness. Fairly subdued on both fronts. Taste is toasted malt, some slight biscuit sweetness, transition to the toasted taste mid palate, finishing with some bitter grassiness. Finish has some menthol to it. Nice, medium, unfiltered palate. Clean, nicely made. Thanks for sending this my way, Brian. dkachur (2411), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 30, 2008 12 ounce bottle from Downtown Wine & Gourmet in Harrisonburg, VA, which had this bottled outdated by 15 months on the shelf. For shame! However, for a lager, this ages well. Pours a golden amber color with a thin, long lasting head. Grainy aroma with some fruity notes. Grain, caramel and bitter hop notes in the taste. Medium bodied. DSG (1514), Tel Aviv, Israel

Clear golden with quite a bit of carbonation and a small white head. Aroma has nice hoppiness with grassy notes, some malty bready hints and a bit of caramel. Sweetish flavor with some malt, light breadiness, light buttery hints and a nice bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied. A nice Lager. blipp (1703), Newark, New Jersey, USA

The flavor has caramel malt with just a touch of hops. Not bad. BelgianBeerGal (1307), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
