Look: Pale orange-straw color; slightly hazy. Large bubbles in head which quickly dissipated.
Smell: Faint citrus fruit and cheese smell. Not like reference lagers.
Taste: Mild bitters. Tastes like toasted biscuits, but not very clean. Not like reference lagers, but acceptable.
Feel: Foams up. Feels thicker than a reference lager.
Overall: Flavor profile doesn't match up to reference lagers, but much better than the typical west coast lager.

341ml bottle, part of the current (winter, I guess) Dead Frog mixed pack.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, creamy, and fizzy eggshell white head, which leaves some randomly splattered chunky lace around the glass as it very lazily sinks away.
It smells lightly of gritty and grainy pale malt, lager yeast, a weird wet woodiness, and some plain musty, earthy, and dead grassy hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, further crackery cereal notes, a kind of stale-seeming apple fruitiness, some ephemeral wet cardboard 'character', and more tame earthy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters.
The carbonation is quite (over)active in its trilling frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and not particularly smooth, as the yeastiness (I think) gets in the way of things here. It finishes off-dry, the wan cereal malts more or less carrying the day.
Overall, I just can't put my finger on why I feel that there's something amiss with this brew. First off, there's way too many bubbles for a lager, and then there's that almost, but not quite phenolic and/or cardboard essence, one which just may be a figment of my imagination. At any rate, this is nothing special, and certainly not worth seeking out.
