3.28/5 rDev -13.5%
look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

After loving Brooklyn Brown Ale, I was again disappointed about this one - it really reminded me too much of a standard Bud, than a more impressive lager (in my taste, yuengling).

A: Light brown/tan with decent head that quickly dissolves.

S: Pretty watery, but clean and easy. Nothing special.

T: A bit watered down, slightly metallic, but as you continue some dynamic aspects emerge - lemon, hops, etc. Not bad, not great.

M/D: Pretty easy going down, but doesnt have a whole lot to offer. Exceptionally light for a lager.

3.84/5 rDev +1.3%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

Poured from a 16 oz can in to something that's apparently called a "craft pub glass"

A- Pours a pretty clear amber body with lots of rising bubbles and a tall, fluffy off-white head of three fingers.

S- Smells pretty hoppy. Fresh cut grass and grain with some caramel sweetness.

T- Not as hoppy or bitter as I expected from the nose, but very interesting. If I had to describe it, I'd say it sort of tastes like sweet, wet grass and toasted wheat bread.

M- Medium body with good carbonation and an oddly crisp finish.

O- This is a pretty good brew, but I'm going to leave it at that. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

4.04/5 rDev +6.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Poured into glass, amber coloured, beige foam that disappeared quickly and low on carbonation;
Smell: A bit of citrus and caramel malts;
Taste: Low complexity of citric flavors - orange and lemon. I guess I've tasted some vanilla in it.
Mouthfeel: Floral, and medium intensity on mouth with a slightly bitter finish;
Overall: It's nice to drink it, it's a good lager after all. But even though I had medium-low expectations on this, I was expecting more.

A: Bronze copper, slight haze, large off white head, decent lacing plus retention.

S: Citrus, floral and slightly milky.

T: Fruity, floral, bitter finish.

M: Crisp, light body, well carbonated and smooth, very easy drinker.

O: One of the best lagers around, reminded me of a well hopped Kellerbier.
