2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
tap at the brewery - Pours hazy yellow with a lingering white head. There’s a light, malty aroma. The flavor has ample bitttering hops with subdued malt. It’s light bodied and just okay.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with BBB63. Pours a hazy dull gold with lots of fat carbonation bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass and a few floaties lingering at the bottom. Moderate white head that disappeared after the first sip and left no lace. The aroma was virtually non-existent with perhaps some scant floral hops in the nose. The flavor was malt with a bit of floral hops at the finish. Lightly bitter at the finish and light on the palate. Not a bad beer by any means, but very uninteresting.

12 oz bottle courtesy of BBB63. Pours a hazy golden honey with a small white head. Aroma of faint floral hops, butter and grainy malt. Taste is buttery with hints of faint floral hops and watery caramel. OK.

12 ounce bottle from Mike. Pours hazy dark golden with a little bit of white head. Lots of grainy pale malt in the nose with just a bit of apple and flowers. Lot of earthy hops and a fading bitterness. Lots of malt flavor as well, with some light caramel notes. I’m thinking banana-nut bread as well. Medium body. Buttery mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Even finish. Certainly not something to be sought after. I guess its a nice money maker for Chuck. Thanks Mike.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Golden hue with a fading frothy head and some lace. The aroma has notes of floral hops and pale grainy malt with slight pear and apple esters. The taste has a mild fruity character over a layer of soft grains with a mostly clean finish. Just enough hop to let you know there are some. The mouth feel is thin and lively as expected with a dry finish, refreshing. Overall it fits the bill of what it is, a simple session ale and there is nothing wrong with that.
