| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 6, 2008 Draft at the brewery. Poured a slightly hazy light orange color. The head was foamy, white, and left some decent lace behind. The aroma was of dried hay, yeasty bread dough, cereal grain, and noble hops. Slightly sweet up front with mild bitterness. Nice cereal grain and noble hop flavors. Tasty. notalush (2690), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Clear, honey-colored beer, with a short-lived head - decent lace - smells of innocuous lagered character, a bit of honey, some grassy hops, a little bready quality - fairly creamy mouthfeel, but it thins out really fast - very mild flavor - some herbal hops, mild cane sugar sweetness, some lemony notes - gets bitter and a little dry in the finish - fairly uninteresting - normally I find TB beers under-rated - not the case with this one.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Pours a very clear lemon yellow with white head. Aroma is grass and caramel. Flavor is a strange caramelized grass flavor with notes of hops.Body is light with this contradictory watered down creaminess with fair to light carbonation. My first taste was pretty good but this just seems a bit odd. esjaygee (1581), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle (best by 10/21/08) and served in a shaker. This beer poured a crystal clear golden hue with a thin head of fizzy, off-white foam. Minimal lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of lightly toasted grains, some faint citrus and lemon zest, and a sharp, grassy, herbal hop note. The flavor consisted of sweet malts, faint caramel, toast, and a mild, crisp, noble hop finish. Clean and satisfying. The mouthfeel was light-bodied with moderate carbonation. Nice summer session beer. A good example of the style. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Bottle. Clear gold/bronze pour with an instantaneously dying head. Honeyed cereal malt aroma, light caramel and grass. Lightly sweet ’toast and honey’ flavor with mild hops underneath. Finishes fairly crisp. Medium bodied. Fairly pleasant flavor, though entirely forgettable lager. badgerben (3605), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 4, 2008 Gold color with a thin head. Lots and lots of corn and grain aroma and flavor. Very similar to a BMC lager.
