From August 22nd 2010.
120z bottle at the Old Chicago.
A great way of sampling singles, the Old Chicago..
A straw yellow colour with a fine head of foam that doesn't stick around long.
The smell is light grain, metallic notes, and a hop bitterness that's very citrus like. Pretty decent.
The taste is of grain, some sweet malt, and a pretty tasty hop citric bitterness. Not bad at all in fact, I quite like it.
Usual mouthfeel for the style but it's a pretty darned drinkable drop. For me, occasional use isn't out of the question.

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 2/7/2018. Pours fairly crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit of lemon/pear fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Nicely clean on lager flavors, minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, bready/grainy, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very good pale lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Clean pale malt flavors and solid earthy hop presence for the style. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

12 oz bottle pour. I picked up this bottle at a specialty craft beer shop. Surprised to find it there, but glad they also provide service to people looking for random geographical ticks. A high carb, golden pour. A lot of skunk here. Not sure if the aroma or taste has more. Soft straw. This tastes exactly like every green bottle lager out there. Fun try for sure.
