12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 5/5/2016. Pours fairly crystal clear pale straw color with a 1 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, biscuit, light honey, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast notes present. Moderate dryness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and fairly grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a very good Pale lager. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Sample at the 29th Annual Oregon Brewers Festival on 07/30/2016. Clear copper color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of malt, fruit and hops. Medium body with flavors of grainy malt, ripe fruit and slight hops. The finish is grainy and malty. Decent overall.

Kullankeltainen kirkas olut melko pienellä ja nopeasti katoavalla vaahdolla. Tuoksu maltainen ja lagerille epätyypillisesti kivasti hedelmäisellä ja sitruksisella otteella höystetty. Maku maltainen ja ruohoinen. Tuoksun hedelmäisyys jatkuu kivasti myös makuun nostaen kokonaisuuden peruslagerien yläpuolelle. Katkera jälkimaku. Melko kevyt suutuntuma, hiilihappoja aika kevyesti. Oikein raikas ja kivasti erilainen, hieman pils-suuntaan kurottava lager.

12 oz bottle from Marks & Spencers, Camberley. A really pale straw in colour with a trace of white head and gentle carbonation; light grainy aroma; soft grainy taste, with a fizz in the mouth; a dusting grassy hops and a then sweeter finish. Bonus points for being GF, but otherwise a very standard lager.

Omission Beer is Widmer Brothers gluten free line of brews and this is their 5.8% Pale Ale. As you can see it is a vibrant orange gold with a soapy looking beige head. The taste is earthy grains that give it a somewhat coffee crisp character mixed in with fruity hops that lend it an almost fruit punch aroma. Fairly full bodied with w raspy mouthfeel. The taste delivers those coffee wafer grain notes and a decent level of hoppiness but I'd call it an average beer but an above average gluten free one. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

More boring than foul. Light citrus without much grain. Golden pour. Actually drinkable, which is something. Bottle at Summerfest.
