From May 2007
This one pours from 22oz bottle a clear straw gold with a large head of foam that settles down but stays for the entire session and has good lacing.
The smell is of malt and it's very sweet on the nose.
The taste on first sip is strong on the sweet malt with some earthiness and a touch of bitterness near and through the finish.
I think that it's similar to a lot of American Pilsners I've had in the past(New Belgium Blue Paddle comes to mind) but it lacks a certain oomph that would make it stand out.
A few more sips in and I'm getting a "salty" flavour that I'm not really enjoying all that much. Hmm....pretty ordinary; I note that the best by date has March notched and a pen mark where 2007 would be so maybe I'll have to try again with a fresher bottle if I can find one. As is, it's pretty ordinary.

Bottle - clear gold - minimal, soapy lace - overall weak and messy - aroma is highly acidic and a little starchy, with slightly sourish malt character - flavor is sweet, but with a sharp acidity, bland malt character, moderate but kind of dull hoppiness - a bit of chalk, starch, corn - moderately sour finish - lame.

Shaker pint draft at the brew pub in Frisco, Colorado. Pour is a lightly hazed golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light cereal grain along with some lemon citrus sweetness. Subdued nose. Taste is the cracker malt up front with the sweet lemon and a very mild herbal element in the back. Taste is clean, though like the nose, muted. Palate is medium to thin bodied, clean finish, somewhat lower carbonation. Decent Pils, clean, nothing offensive.
