[1] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (11/20/2008 7:16:29 PM)
"Bottle from trade:
Honey-gold color with a puffy white cap that lasts and laces.
Big bready sweet nose with some caramel and herbal tones
Huge chew of Munich malt in the front with a wonderful herbal noble hop balance, mid palate there is a subtle complexity as you taste the multiple malts and hop varieties used . Fishes lightly drying clean and satisfying.
A very nice Munich styled lager with a rich malt spine and traditional German hopping....a lager lover’s wet dream."

[2] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/28/2008 2:36:04 PM)
"Presentation: It was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The color is a beautifully bright and golden with great clarity. Its head has great retention and builds up thick and creamy white. Lots of cool lacing is left behind on the glass.
Smell: The aroma is full of fruity sweet malts and aromatic floral hops.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor and body are wonderfully balanced. The malt has a pleasant sweet fruity character offset by flavorful leafy and crisp citrus hops with mild bitterness that quickly fades into the finish. The body is light to medium with a smooth yet crisp texture that is perfectly balanced with carbonation.
Notes: It is just darn good and very drinkable.

"I really wanted to like this beer and I feel bad that I didn't care for it. Golden pour with a thick white head. Very appealing looking beer. Sort of a sour taste and just not as smooth as I had hoped. "

[4] Review by bluesandbarbq from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/21/2008 8:19:44 AM)
"Pours a nice clear light amber-yellow with an ample head leaving plenty of lacing. Very good carbonation. Aromas of sweet malts, a very slight fruitiness, and a noticeable hops presence. Taste is extremely smooth with a nice maltiness and slight wet wheat taste with a little hops kick in the end. Loved this one - another GREAT beer from Great Lakes."

[5] Review by DC11 from Southern, MN, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/27/2008 5:38:35 PM)
"Yep, 7's across the board. Light amber body with a white head and not much lacing to speak of. Wet hay-like and grassy aroma, and the flavor follows suit. There's some malt in the background, but a white pepper-like bitterness seems to take center stage. Good carbonation for the style, and overall mouthfeel is about moderate. A pretty good beer out of the bottle, but I'll bet it's much better from the tap. "
