i had this several years ago when it was brewed by Jos Huber brewery"a rather good example of american lager of course served cold in a tall glass. this had a fruity aroma to it even before pouring with a tiny bit of hops bitterness at end

This was not a good beer. A clear golden pour with a thin bubbly white head. The aroma was grainy malt, and old yeast. The flavour was more of the grassy malt taste with a metallic aftertaste that was extremely unpleasant.

A tad hazy, light carbonation, and a thin, white, bubbly head. A slightly sour, grassy, earthy nose. Taste is muddled sour grain, bubble gum, and some redeeming hop flavor. The tangy somewhat-balanced finish may be the best feature of this uneven, at-best-average lager.

Typical light golden body of a german style lager, decent sized white head that dissipated quickly and left little lacing. it had a creamy taste all the way through.

This beer was great. It was really malty with a slight hop bite to keep it balanced. It was very smooth and would make a great session beer. Poured a nice golden color.

The aroma is almost non-existant and is somewhat like that of Busch light. The appearance is a very light brown with a tinge of golden hue. The mouthfeel is watery. The flavor is like that of dark fruit but only a little bit.

With the heat wave that has hit the entire country hard, especially the poor folks St Louis w/o power, it should be no huge shock that I've been in a pale yellow fizzy lager mood. And while sometimes I strike out big time (read: "Otra" for me is now synomonous with "shite"), once and a while a beer comes around that not only kills a thirst, but also a good job as just a plain tasty beer. Is this Joseph Huber beer the former -- or the later?

Well, kinda neither, to be honest -- but, at the same time, I didn't mind drinking this.

The bottle I picked up while Hi-Times has a rather sedate silver label, with forest green highlights. Reminded me of a few Germanic beers I've run across before.

Pretty typical beer here, across the board. In appearence, small, and flavor, there is very little here to really remark upon. Perhaps the mere fact that the is nothing overtly remarkable (i.e. in a negative sense) speaks well for this beer? That's certianly one school of thought. Me? I prefer to really have something better to say about a beer than "it doesn't suck". But that's neither here' nor there.

This does have a rather clean finish, and a pretty easy-as-you-please thank-you-ma'am amount of sheer drinkability. And it certianly cut some of my thirst on this very hot Summer evening in San Diego.

But while this went down just fine, it does have a certian blaise' aspect to it that doesn't really inspire much loyalty or affection for this. Kinda plain and anonymous in the end....

very light in color for a lager and almost no head to be seen. I personally think it has too much bitterness to it as well. aroma is very pleasing and taste while going down is pretty nice actually, but the aftertaste is crappy and too bitter for me.

Light coloured in appearence, no head to speak of, lite taste, unremarkable in taste or character. Joseph Huber makes a couple pretty good beers. This one is okay, not exceptional at all. Almost boring. Berghoff makes several beers with not much in the way of taste or character and this is one of them. I'd pass if it was me.
