From my awesome memory (some beers just stay with you). 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear blond color, with a medium white head. Aroma was grains, notes of hops, caramel malts. Flavor was malty, caramel, touch of toffee, this one was pretty solid.

12 oz bottle. Nice malty smell upon popping is a good sign. Pours yellow and bubbly, but shows some substance to its color, with a short fizzy head. Taste is malty, bready, but also a tiny bit syrupy. Bit of adjunct, maybe? Yet, it shows more malt character than the majority of American pale fizzy lagers. Hops are a bit indistinct when they be giving this a more German backbone. Still, it’s not bad, and definitely an individual beer.

Bottle from Total Wine and More (Roseville). Slightly brassy gold color with a fizzy white head that rapidly declined. Smells of grain and grassy hop. A bit thin in body with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is lightly bready with not all that much noble hop. Finishes ok. Fits the style. Pair it with hot dogs.

12oz bottle. Light and transparent yellow-gold colored. Head quickly fades away. Peppery hoppy taste of the Hallertau dominates. While plain and standard in some ways simply due to the style, the beer still manages to have some interesting subtle malt and yeast flavor to it. Crisp up front hoppiness fades into malt sweetness. Pretty good beer.

Not bad stuff for a session. Fizzy white head, no retention. Gold body. No real aroma. Very neutral taste, could be paired with anything. A little bit of sweetness at the end (maybe efrom corn or rice). Pretty fizzy mouthfeel. Not bad in any way, but this beer also does not excell at anything.
