Thanks to jcwattsrugger for sharing this one. Light amber body with a fleeting, white head above. Restrained malt aroma. Well balanced mixture of hops & malt in the flavor with a soft, dry finish.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Earthy hop aroma, British in character. Thin body. There is very little malt or hop flavor to take this in any direction worth noting. Thin weak, watery. I brew better IPA than this regularly.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Clear, light amber body with a thin white head. Musky earthy aroma, some malt comes through. No real malt sweetness nor hop bitterness in the flavor. Thin, watery, disappointing.

Slightly pale golden coloured body with a medium sized dense white head. Aroma of cardboard, light skunks, some fresh hops and a stale lemon scent. Light-bodied; Sharp taste of fresh hops along with some nice pale malt. Aftertaste showcases the bitter hops along with a faint sweetness, mainly from the citrus. Overall, a nice lager that would be great in the summertime, but I’m sampling this thing near the beginning of Winter. Good to try if you can find it! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 28-November-2005.

Nice shade of amber body with a light ruby tint and a soapy tan head atop the beer. Aroma of cardboard, pale malt, light german hops and a short caster sugar sweetness. Medium-bodied; Short hoppiness up front that fades real quick to another short malty flavour with little else hidden behind that taste. Aftertaste shows some caramel and toffee but really - nothing is left on the palate. Overall, this one is good for those who like good looking and a decent initial taste with no aftertaste at all. Perfect for a party or if you want to drink a lot of beer without tasting it much. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 19-November-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
