Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is bready with a small bitter hop. Flavor is some bland malts with not much of a hop profile. Not much to grab you with this one. I’m sure back in the day this was groundbreaking but the craft beer world is always improving.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has notes of bread and cereal with just a bit of grassy hop notes. Flavor is similar with a good amount of bread and cereal with just a touch of earthy grass hops.

Slightly hazy, golden honey coloured body with a large, white head about three centimetres tall. Aroma of yeast, citrus, basement, hay, grass, herbal notes and a tiny bit of hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive metallic flavour with a grassy, herbal note and a little bit of yeast - almost nothing else of value in the flavour though. Aftertaste shows some metal, grass, malt, bitterness and almost no hops. Overall, very disappointing and not really worth sampling at all - this beer doesn’t show any characteristics of an APA or any retro or old-world style recipe might have. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 24-February-2013 for US$1.34 sampled at home in Washington on 15-March-2013.

12 oz bottle from a six pack. Slightly hazy golden pour with a medium collapsing white head. Aroma is pretty muted, but I get dough, rubber, faint citrus. Taste is lightly hoppy with a dry finish; ends on a bready note. Light, crisp and refreshing. Highly carbonated, medium-bodied. Really basic, but tasty. It seems pretty humble now, but I can see how this would have turned heads back in the era of "all pale lagers, all the time" back in the ’70s.

12 oz bottle purchased at Lukas in Kansas, Missouri. Best before Jul marked on the label. The pour is clear golden yellow, with not much of a white head. The aroma is dusty floral hops (as it warmed this showed more as straw), some toasted malt, and a bit of dirt and earth. The taste is the dry floral hops, which pick up an herbal element and accent the straw, along with the toasted malt of the nose, a bit bland, and the dirt and earth appear in the longish finish. The palate is medium bodied, low carbonation level, and the dirt finish. Just OK, though I very much appreciate this historical re-creation.
