Top of the Hill Leaderboard Trophy Lager

Brewed by Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Chapel Hill, North Carolina USA

Can courtesy of durhambeer. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of corn, dry malt. Tastes of citrus, corn, dry malt. Decent.

Super clear golden coloured body with a bunch of bubbles rising from the bottom and a nice white head. Aroma of dry malt, light grassy hops, perfume and a bunch of sweet fruit. Light-bodied; Sharp taste of fresh malt, light hops and the slightest of fruit flavours. Aftertaste shows a nice mellow perfumey sweetness with some mild hops. A bit of honey shows through with the slight hop bitterness. Overall, a good beer - no bad tastes at all, but perhaps not enough of the good tastes to make it a great beer. I sampled this twelve ounce CAN purchased from Total Wine in Durham, North Carolina on 31-August-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 12-January-2009.

Can, though better on draft. Light golden pour with usually a smallish bubbly head. Corn and grain, slightly sweet with a somewhat odd malt character. Decent; thoroughly drinkable.

Poured an extremely light gold from 12 oz can, little to no foamy head. Aroma of corn, some grassy hops. Flavour much of the same. As DrBayern suggested, lawn mower beer, thats about it. Un-Inspiring lager beer.

12 oz. can. Lightly hazy gold with a half-inch of sticky foam that leaves crunchy lacing. Aroma is grain, honey and light citrus. Flavors of lightly soured corn, honey-citrus and dry grain. Light body is nearly chalky dry on the finish and is too bubbly.

Nothing wrong with this. Cool can. Easy drinking pale lager, typical smell of corn, little soap. Taste is clean and simple, just like it should be. Nicely dun.

Cloudy pale yellow with a fluffy head. The nose is light hops, yeast and nice malts. Has a nice full mouth feel with malty undertones. Finishes clean with a slight bitterness.

Can. Cloudy gold pour. Nose is grain/cereal, lemon, yeast, grass and toasted malts. Taste is better than expected with strong grassy hops, cereal, toasted malts, soft yeast, and light lemon. Body is medium and moderately carbonated. Seems chewy in spots. Rather thick for a "pale lager". Ends with more toasted malts, cereal, buttery notes, light lemon, yeast and grass. Not a typical pale lager by any stretch and rather drinkable as well.
