Nice lasting, thick and creamy white head; body is a soft golden amber, a bit cloudy. Faint but agreeable citrus aroma with an element of sweet malt grain. Very mild biscuit flavor with some tangy citrus notes; low to moderate hop bitterness. Medium body; soft on the palate; semi-dry.

This go around comes across fuller, rounder, and more balanced overall. Pleasant and unassuming in nature; an easy drinker.

Original review notes:

Light gold body; lively carbonation with a somewhat thin yet sticky head. Aroma of low-key orange and other indeterminate citrus. Some light grain flavor with a slow developing ester-like sweetness; a note of citrus and spiciness; bitterness is also subtle. Medium bodied; mildly prickly on the palate; semi-sweet finish.

This is a tough one to evaluate. Based purely on its own appeal, it's so-so. Then again, evaluating it along the lines of a pilsner or pale ale also brings a so-so leanings. Well, perhaps it isn't so difficult. An interesting hybrid but with so-so results. 'Nuff said...

Yum. One of the cans in the six pack fell out… wonder if it’s ok

12oz can. No dating information found.
Clear, pale gold colored body. One thin finger of white head. Leaves a few spots and trails of lacing.
Aroma is toasted malts and floral/fruity hops.
Taste follows the nose, with toasted bread crust malts and fruity/floral hops, with a touch of sulfur. All continue in the aftertaste.
On the lighter side of medium for mouth feel. Crisp and clean on the palate. Very good carbonation.
Very easy to drink, with a clean and refreshing experience.

It would be nice if 10 plus six packs of this beer or some of their others didn't have cans falling out because they're not sealed tightly enough. Anyways the beer itself is actually decent and acceptable. Won't be having it again as there's 9000 pilsners out there comparable or better but overall a decent beer.

 

 

 

 

Extremely good flavor, smell, and feel. This "palesner" is very good quality for a decent price. A hoppy taste, but not overbearing. A good choice for any occasion. Highly recommended.

 

 

 

A German esq beer that carries a stronger malt taste for a light beer. Even with the lightness, hops effectively balance this beer leaving you with that slight pale ale dryness at the end. More German-Belgium-ness shows through with a hint of yeasty esters lingering throughout. Well balanaced, easy drinking bier.
