The brewer calls this beer a premium lager. I don't know how that is different from a traditional lager, but this one was alright by either standard I guess. Not the greatest beer I have ever consumed, but in no ways the worst.

The aroma is a balance of malt, hop and yeast with a light lemony scent and grassy earthiness. There is a slight cloudiness to this lager's golden appearance. It has the appearance of an American Lager, light and almost clear with a lot of bubbles from the carbonation. Continues below
The light malt and citrus flavors tend to linger on the palate less than a European lager like Heineken or a beer like that, but it has a refreshing mild bitter aftertaste like the aforementioned.

This beer is refreshing and light like drinking a Budweiser or Coors. As mentioned, this is an average quality lager, nothing to call premium but not horrible.
