| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Sep 9, 2003 Clear bottle loses points for appearance. It's a medium clear gold color, with an average white head. Big roasted corn aroma mixed with bad tobacco and hay. Fruity up front, then calm, then syrupy sweet, then finally a big coarse, musty and sour flavor. Really, the finish is absolutely awful, it feels like I'm choking on cigarette butts.

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jan 6, 2005 Thanks to obeygiant for this. I didn’t like this one. Some hopcit in aroma and taste, and slightly better than BMC swill, but I wouldn’t drink this again. In the words of Dr. Seuss, I drank this to increase my ratings, wouldn’t drink it again if I was dehydratings. Ernest (4489), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | May 16, 2003 Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is trace malt (grain), trace hops (flowers), with a hint of apple. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery (almost syrupy) texture, lively carbonation. This should satisfy sweet tooths, but not those who desire an aroma. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 2, 2003 Bottled. Nice-looking lager, darker golden than BMC for sure, with a decent creamy head. Despite the clear bottle and some signs of age, mine wasn’t skunked; aroma was fairly fresh and grassy, what little there was of it. Flavor rather sweet, carbonation seems a bit artificial, no hops, somewhat corn-syrupy, drinkable but why bother? heemer77 (4304), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 3, 2005 Lots of sediment in the bottle, so I poured carefully to keep the beer clean. There is alarge white head with a light gold body. The aroam is old apples and sweat socks. There are also some carrots and celery in the aroma. The taste is honey with some light corn and grass. This is decent. After rating, I poured the rest of the bottle and the floating material broke up and just caused a little cloudiness in the glass. It did not seem to affect the beer in any noticeable way. Dickinsonbeer (3494), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 20, 2003 I hate clear bottles. Also- there was almost no head. Flavor was slightly watery with some maltiness to it without too much presence of hops. Overall, I didnt like this beer too much , but it did have a nice malty aroma to it- kinda like sticking your head in a big 25 kg bag of marris otter. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 25, 2002 Their Black Dog ale is terrific, as is much of the output of this brewery. This lager’s fairly flavorful and quite mild. No hops to be found. Aubrey (2777), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Apr 5, 2003 Unfortunately, head died out almost before I finished pouring. Clear golden color wasn't too appealing either. Thought a microbrewer would know better than to use clear bottles... but I digress. Sweet-smelling, breakfast-cereal nose. Light and syrupy on the tongue with a moderate carbonation that attempts to complement. Grainy malts with a mild sweetness; somewhat cloying. Spiky, dryish finish (how it can still be cloying is beyond me). Some sweet and sour notes lingered. Overall, somewhat unbalanced and a wee bit boring.
