RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Jan 17, 2008 Clear gold with a slightly sour malt aroma with just a dash of floral hops. Earthy hop presence in the taste over sweet malt. Slightly metallic dry finish. Not bad for a pils. slimchill (773), Austin, Texas, USA Jan 16, 2008 Draught. Strong aroma of pretzels and straw. Light yellow body with a slight haze, but mostly clear. Full bodied palate carries a well-balanced malty sweetness. NicerInPerson (337), North of Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Jan 10, 2008 The aroma was saaz hops and a crisp spicy lager aromatic. Some light caramel was notable coupled to the hop presence and a bit of DMS was there as well. The beer poured into the glass clear golden straw with a white low head which was persistent and laced the glass. The flavor was malty on the front end with a bit of caramel which was kept in check with spicy hop bittering and flavor. The flavor was almost grassy with hops and was well done, but a bit stale (probably due to the age of the sample). The finish was dry with lasting bittering and flavor hops into the aftertaste and beyond. The body was medium with a moderate carbonation and a creamy texture on the palate. A nice pint, some aroma missing due to age and a bit of the fresh hop characteristics, but still holding up very well. 12 ounce bottle, best by Dec 25, 07. Viper666 (613), Greenfield Park, Quebec, Canada Jan 9, 2008 Bouteille 12oz, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur jaune dorée et légèrement voilée. Nez de houblon herbeux (herbe fraîche, traces de foin) aux notes florales, léger de malt pâle avec des notes de miel et de fruits (agrumes). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et assez croustillant ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux petites notes aqueuses. Léger goût fruité (agrumes et zest) accompagné d’un goût moyennement amer de houblon herbeux (herbes fraîches) et légèrement floral (présent toute la gorgée) avec un léger goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de céréales avec des notes de miel puis en finale il y a un léger regain d’amertume asséchante et plus herbeuse (petites notes de foin). Post-goût moyen et sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales avec un léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes). jbean (110), Illinois, USA Jan 9, 2008 Draught at Pub in Ida Noyes. Clear golden with one finger white head. Aroma is grassy and citrusy, you can tell there are some hops in this. Clean and refreshing, with hops in the middle and end.
