Nov 6, 2006 On draft at O’Briens Wet Hop Festival, the classification as a pale lager surprises me based on the flavor profile, though I could understand it being made in a lager style I suppose. Slightly hazed medium amber color with a small creay beige head that leaves nice lacing. Great crisp hop aroma, citrus heavy with sweet toasty malts, hints of caramel and grapefruit juice in the finish. Mellow, sweet toffee malts, earty, herby hops, with bright citrus flavors as well leading to an astringent finish. Medium body, gentle carbonation. Again, this seems to fit the profile of a hoppy APA or IPA rather than pale lager, but what the hey!

Oct 27, 2008 Pours clear yellow with a big white head. Stinky aroma of banana and sweat. Thin mouthfeel. More banana in the taste, but with pine oil. Another miss for Blue Frog.

Jan 20, 2009 10/18/08 On draught at the brewpub, Fairfield, Ca. Aroma is faintly sweet. Appearance is clear yellow with a very well maintained white head. Flavor is candy sweet forward with a light citrus bittering and an odd, but blended, cream note. Mouthfeel is fairly creamy with low carb texture and medium body. Overall, different but drinkable.

Dec 26, 2008 On tap at OBriens 2008 Wet Hop Festival weekend. Backlogged rating. Something went wrong here. I remember tasting something like spoiled peanut butter. Flavor is also of rotten wort. Hops are there, though, in the finish.
