12 ounce bottle, 3/6/16. Clear dark amber, thin foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of toasted malt, tinny hops, apples and citrus. The taste is strong tea notes, as in black tea. Weird. Also some citrus, apples, raisin, herbal hops and toasted malt. Thin bodied, low carbonaton. What a weird beer.

Bottle from a Lazy Dog. Pours a brilliantly clear light golden color with a decent sized bubbly white head that shows moderate retention. Aromas of tart lemon and light starchy bready malt. Lightly tart flavor reminds me of lemons with little else going on in the flavor. Very clean but one dimensional really.

bottle - Pours light gold with a small white head. It smells of grainy, pale malt and some mild, tart fruitiness. The flavor is sweet and mildly tart. Light bodied. It’s okay.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright light gold with a white head. Light fruit aroma. Med minus body. Flavor is more towards sweet than tart. Could be good for the lake given the low ABV. It is drinkable without super serious objection.

OK, you know india pale happy bullshit has become ubiquitous when Liney starts making an IPL and Blue Moony makes an IPA! LOL LOL. Pretty dawg gone funny. Looks like an IPA. Smells a lot like a duller fruity ipa. But I must say, it lacks any of that contemporary BO I get on the nose so much from today’s IPA. Has a lot of those IPA flavors super impressed into a lager I guess. Big chewing green grapefruit rinds mixed with pine sap tar all while chewing on spruce needles attitude, just like an IPA that’s treading on impy IPA territory. Yes every swig is a mouth coating palate wrecking roto taste bud tilling experience. Over the top. One thing tho, and I guess this is how you can tell its not an ale?.....It seems to be less viscous and has a little co2 in there. Not impressed with the over all lager wants to be an ale happy BS. Go figger. Look,this has all the attributes of imperial IPA, and it doesn’t mean it’s easier to take because its a fricken lager! Terribly on stupid ass style. WIK, WDIC?

Bottle from Kroger. Any Kroger, anywhere. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma of lemongrass, cheap lager, little else. Taste is beer-tent lager, metal, and lemon. So incredibly uncomplicated and bland that I’d quit drinking if this the best available.

Bottle thanks to Mario. Hazy light yellow with small white head that leaves no trace. Some lemon, dough, light grass and some witbier spices. Medium sweet, under medium metallic bitter. Almost medium bodied. Meh.

Yep, bought a case hoping it was better than it was. Not really berliner in nature, I guess that’s why it says berliner ’style’ on the package. Odd off aroma. Taste is easy going and somewhat watery with a tad of tartness, not much, just mildly tart. But hey, I was just at the RBSG 2016 where I was pummled with sour beers so this may be why I don’t think it comes across as described. Has a little bit of that processed macro feel to it. I can live with this, but was expecting something a little more lively or tangy for something that called itself tart or beliner. Go figger. In the end, it could use a little more co2 as well.
