| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 28, 2009 pours amber with a small head that fades to a nice lace, smell is strawberry, toffee/caramel. taste is very sweet for a lager, a little bit of an artificial sweet taste at the end, almost mint leafy aftertaste that does last, good lager body refreshing feeling. pretty good, keeping in mind it is inbetween dollar beer and premium beer prices for a pack DerWeg (760), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Bottle from brewery fridge yesterday. Gold blonde with dense white cap. Smell yeast and sweet cereal grain. Bile or vomit sharp note. Taste is sweet with unfortunate peanut butter flavors, over some clashing sweet malts and rusty dirty flavors.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 25, 2009 Thanks to xmarcnolanx for sharing this one with me. Pours clear golden / blond with a thin bubbly translucent head. The aroma has diacetyl, must, minimally toasted malt and veggies. Medium smooth body with a touch of harshness and light carbontion. The flavor starts spicy with hops and clean malt, but then green veggies hit and linger a lot. I don’t know if it is age, but this sample wasn’t very good. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 19, 2009 341mL bottle from an in-person trade with matt7215, thanks Matt. Pours a deeper golden with a small white cap, very nice looking. The aroma is very typical of this brewer, very distinctive malt character, a bit of boiling mash, worty, bready and sweet. Nice. Flavour is very reflective of the aroma, a tad creamy, almost like the cream ale, but still lagerish enough. Crisp. Not much hops except for some citrus zing in the finish. Another very solid offering from a fantastic brewer. matt7215 (967), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
