Cloudy gold with a large foamy white head that left excellent lacing. Dry and musty with earthiness, an herbal note and a hint of hot pepper. Long finish. Medium body.

Crisp, pure golden coloured body with a very thin, pure white head, only a centimetre or so tall, that fades fairly quickly and leaves almost nothing at all on top after a few seconds. Aroma of rich malts with some biscuits, light grain, subtle fruits and a heavy hit of lager yeasts, all with a smooth-ish citrus twang and some light astringency as well from metallic notes. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and hay-like flavours at first with a light biscuity and yeast flavour soon afterwards that shows the light lager yeasts and subtle bitterness, along with some mild German [Saaz, perhaps?] hops without any real alpha acids, but showing some smooth flavours that add to the bitterness and bring in a dry quality at the end. Aftertaste shows some dry funk and grass along with the light earthy malts and some biscuity yeast towards the end that ends up being fairly easy-drinking, but devoid of sweetness or fruitiness at all, which is okay, just relatively straight-forward. Overall, a fairly nice, easy-going, simple and dry lager that doesn't have many astringent or pungent qualities, but does have some smooth malts, dryness and even a glimmer of fresh hops coming through make this worthwhile in the summer, perhaps not making a special trip to any store to try to find this, but a good beer, for sure. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 20-May-2002 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington, a few blocks away on 16-July-2020.

16 ounce can. Medium gold pour. Small bubbly white head. Light grainy malt nose. Crisp lemony malt flavor is thin bodied. Notes of light grain and grassy hops. Easy drinking and quaffable.

Can from Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy light golden color with a huge off white head that persists. Light DMS initially with some faint bready pilsner and apple on the nose. earthy floral hop aromas. Bitter flavor with a slight chalk and barely any malt to balance it. Light astringency, Fairly dry finish. Not horrible but needs a bit of work.

Pours an amber from a can with a thick white head, lots of lacing and foam staying. A little lemony aroma and flavor, but mostly a nice crackery malt with some noble hop bitterness. Good beer.
