12oz bottle from Wegman’s, West Seneca, NY. A straw colour with a fast fading white head; fresh grassy aroma; grassy taste with some honey-like sweetness and a sour grainy body; and a clean sharp bitterness to finish. A decent pilsner style lager with a more assertive finish than most.

High hopes for this bottle. Looks like any other pale lager with a decent head that does not fade. Smell is a little metallic. Not sure if this is really a pale lager, probably a little more developed compared to cheap American lagers. Yes, more like a pils or a premium lager. In addition to its refreshing taste there is this medium building old country pilsner thing happening in there. Finish is just that, medium length pils bite in back of throat. Though better in taste than most cheap pale lagers, does not have the mild civility so common in the better American pale lagers.

Super clear golden coloured body with a light copper glow and a rich, thick, four centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, alcohol, grass and quite a bit of funk noticeable - interesting and quite strong. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour with some grain, cereal and medicine at first and some subdued alcohol and sweet flavours right afterwards all ending in a tannic hit of alcohol. Aftertaste is muted at best and showing funky malt and yeast at worst - not great. Overall, a decent beer with some subdued (Good) flavours and some overt (not so good) tastes noticeable that make it drinkable, but not worth searching out for. I sampled this twelve ounce stubby bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 04-May-2014 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 01-June-2014.

Hazy gold pour - effervescent body - nose is light - some light sweetness, mildly grassy hops, a little grain and corn husk - carbonation is soft - texture is moderately creamy - flavor is light and moderately tangy - some lemony notes - light grain and a moderate hop bite through the middle, with a touch of crackery malt - the finish brings a little bit of adjucnt-ish flavor (corn) and a light metallic character which detracts from my enjoyment a bit - I see potential here with a slight recipe tweak - I actually enjoy it a little more than my rating suggests, but I can let something with these flaws in the finish get a higher rating.

Bottle @ home. These guys’ lagers have been pretty boring, so hopefully this is different. Clear golden appearance with a fluffy, pearl white head. Grainy, straw, somewhat dry, a bit musty aroma. Cracker, grainy pale malty, hay flavor with some light vanilla notes. Easy enough to drink but boring.

Of course you beat me to this rating Beau! 12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium sized white frothy head. Decent head retention. Aroma of grassy hops with pale malts. The taste is pale crackery malts with grassy hops. Medium bodied. Decent, but kinda bland and why breweries think summer = less flavor is beyond me. Summer sucks enough already, at least give us something decent to drink.
