Massive cereal grain and corn on the nose. Some metal as well. Clear gold is nice, but white head is almost nonexistent for a lager. Not much of the hops at all on nose or palate. Taste or cereal with carbonic bite halfway through. Some slight floral hop at the very finish.

Bottle. Pured honey gold with medium white head. Full aroma of malt and hay. Rather thin body, with a little maltiness, a little honey and a little hop in the flavour. Not much finish a little bitterness but more old tapwater.

Bottled from Columbia Falls, MT. Hazy amber, small head. Buttery malt aroma. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Fairly dry, buttery with some caramel. Salty finish. Too clean and hard to be pleasant.

Bottled, from Columbia Falls, MT. Lightly hazy ple golden. Tinny blueberry aroma. Mid sweet with light-medium body and clean mouthfeel. Huckleberry takes over, and the finish is all huckleberry jam, no bitterness. Out of balance.

Bottled in Columbia Fals, MT. (as Great Northern Wheatfish Wheat Lager). Hazy golden, rich head. Aroma of peach, grapefruit and wheat crackers. Fairly sweet with light medium body, rounded mouthfeel. Finishes with medium bitterness. More aromatic and pleasing then you’d expect from a "wheat lager", but deffintely altogether without banana/clove character.

Bottled in Columbia Falls, MT. Hazy amber, small head. Restrained sweaty orange aroma. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Fruity with fairly low hop impact, and medium bitterness. A bit sloppy around the edges.

Can from Whole Foods in Sacramento, CA. Pours darkish gold with a 4 finger foamy white head. Aromas of pale malt and noble hop. Near medium body with mild carbonation. It is fresh. Sorta refreshing. Unfortunately it goes slightly paperish. And there is arguably an unusual amount of hop, but it could use a lot more. Nothing particulary disgusting about it though. Damned with faint praise.

Pours a light golden color with a decent enough white head that dissipates almost entirely in a couple minutes. Darker than your average macro lager but still quite boring. Boring is a pretty good descriptor for this beer all the way round. The aroma has a touch of the hops that are proudly advertised as having been added not once... not twice... no, wait, it was twice. I guess they just mean that it was dry hopped. Sorry to mock, but, besides a hint of grassiness, this claim has about as much meaning as Miller Lite’s "triple hopping." The aroma is mostly simple, sweet malt with some metallic undertones. The flavor is too sweet, and it’s really just another boring lager that could have come from a macro brewery. This isn’t the bottom of the barrel or anything, but it’s boring and extremely skippable.

Bottle: A pale, fuzzy golden color with a mountain of fluffy white head. Nose is aromatic with hops, florals and citrus. More sweet than anything. Wet hop mouthful is not overly hoppy or bitter, but flavorful of citrus and florals. The maltiness really drowns out any bitterness. A smooth, easy drinking fresh hop ale.

12 oz bottle. Berries and wheat aroma. Cloudy, pale yellow in appearance. Medium head which disspiates, leaving a thin collar of foam. Berries and wheat flavor. Good...makes me wonder, whatever happened to Black Star?!?!!
