| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Fourth of the Smuttynose winter sampler--and a while since I’ve had a true lager! Full white head that settles to uneven cirrus clouds on an effervescent orange body...has a strong look about it... light malts... the nostril presence is balanced and a bit fruity--pleasant...soft presence...not active but relaxed and drinkable in a positive way... a bit crunchy in the teeth, but only when chewed... malt is obvious... esther lays soft on the back of the mouth--flirts like a pilsner but holds with a lager backbone... hops are slight but noticeable...as lagers go, pleasant and easy--medium-bodied but probably a good beer for a six-pack evening... changeup45 (803), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Updated: Sep 26, 2008This was a pretty good lager. Pours a copper color with a thin white head that quickly fizzles down. Easy drinking with bitter hops and a bit grassy. It’s simple and I suppose could use a little more flavor, but all in all this is certainly drinkable. Pwn3d (1123), Manhattan, New York, USA

Smell is light citrus hops, bread, grain and cereal. Taste is same with a decent hop bite. Nice mouthfeel but tad dry. Overall decent lager. Slipstream (785), USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 21, 2008 There is a cool photo of buoys on the label. Surprisingly nice lager aroma of hops and citrus. Foamy head with lacing. This is a mildly bitter lager, a little on the lite side. Not the best that Portsmouth has to offer, but a decent brew.
