Clear fizzy yellow from bottle. Grainy pilsnery body. Light malt sweets. OK nothing amazing.

From a bottle slightly hazy pale lager, almost clear. Has a decent recognizable lager aroma. Taste on the other hand is big old country pilsner sharpness. Yes, little kick in there. Unexpected considering, this was labeled as a friendly lager, and it smelled like one too. Good solid pilsner fer sure. Pretty close to the old german country.

Bottle at home in CT - picked up in VT. Pours crystal clear yellow with a foamy white head. Clean cereal on the nose with hints of corn, grass and lemon rind. Light-medium sweet flavor with biscuity malts, further cereal, some bitter hay and grass, faint lemon zest, crackers. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with nice balance, further crackers and biscuits, slight dry and grassy bitterness. Very drinkable lager,

Pale muted orange. Creamy white head. Light lavender sweet honey and corn nose. Creamy mouthfeel. Bitter orange peel, sweet pie crust and astringent bitter finish. I still like it quite a bit. A less juicy humulus lager

Bottle. Light barley malt and herbal quinine aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Lightly sweet barley malt and mildly bitter herbal flavor. Okay.

Draft. Hazy pale yellow color, fluffy white head, spider web lacing. Aroma of rising sourdough bread, white pepper, straw. Taste is peppery bitter lemon and straw. Nice.

4oz sample at RFD DC. Pours a clear gold with some soapy, white head. Those are the nicest words that can be used to describe this swill. Nose of skunk and garbage. Flavor is the same, some wet, clumpy yard grass too. Cardboard. Trash. Cloying finish. Catastrophe.

Had this many years ago at the brewery during a lapse in rating, so it’s cool to see it again. 12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear golden color with a large white head. Decent head retention. Strong skunk and not much else from the brown bottle. Maybe some pale malts. I notice the best by date is back in April, which is funny since this has been on sale here for only about a week. The taste is pale malts, slightly buttery, and grassy hops. Thin bodied, lingering bitterness.

So basically, this beer does not look like much. It pours a pretty boring color, with a rather mediocre head. Then the aroma ain’t much either. But the taste, I thought was rather good. Yeasty all up the front, with a few hoppy bites along the way. Overall, it is really damn refreshing after skiing for a while. Frankly, I think the 19th percentile rating is a severe under-rating (premium lager is of course not the best style out there, but this is one of the style’s better points).
