| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 11, 2009 A copper color with a white head. The aroma is malty with some caramel and toffee present. The flavor is simple but nice with some caramel, toffee, cereal, and a hint of citrus coming through. I agree with the commercial description saying this is a crossover beer. I could see it. Nice session stuff. Not complex but I doubt that was the goal.

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 7, 2009 A lager to remind me how much I don’t miss lagers. Thin brew. Taste is corn, grass, grapefruit. Sits thin. No real direction but I guess the same could be said for most lagers. I see Starr Hill averages around the 50’s, so I think there is some work to be done, and that’s OK. j12601 (1298), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Fair enough. Cereal, slightly doughy eurolager aroma with some very light fruit. Nicely bittered, malty, pizza beer. Medium body. Couldn’t see the color, I was drinking it from the bottle. Slight appearance ding for the twistoff cap. There were a couple of off notes in the finish - kind of dubbel-y - just a twinge of straw and must, but only occasionally noticable. New Leaf Market. PorterPounder (3138), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Grainy aroma with some spicy notes. Flavor is a tad muddled - but interesting. Some brief spiciness with a hint of caramel, very faint citrusy bitterness. Moutfeel is slightly carbonated - just the right amount of liveliness. daknole (2941), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2009 Yellowish pour. White head. Grainy aroma but not all bad. Some faint hops too. Flavor is grainy, malty and slightly hoppy. KAggie97 (2459), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 1, 2009 Tap at GABF ’09. Pours an average clear yellow with slight foam and lacing. Nose is light grain, average grass, and light cooked corn. Light and thin on the palate. I don’t know what "Jomo" means but I’m pretty sure it can be used in lieu of "beer made to increase sales."
