2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden colour. Slight spicy hop presence, decent balance, and very light mossy, earthy nuances towards the finish.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
pours a thin white head. Color is a yellow-gold. Aroma has a scent of lime. Flavor is good and nice carbonation level. Finishes a bit flat-metallic. Almost as good as Tsing Tao.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Half Time comes through with another beer I’ve long sought. Green 12 oz bottle. Pours pale gold with a creamy light head. Grassy aroma. Light aroma. Seems like kolsch. Very creamy body. Flavor is more grassy hop than malt. Still it comes off a bit sweet. Just a bit. Seems like a marriage between a kolsch and a german pils. I’d certainly not turn it down in No. Germany. Here, well there are so many tastier beers. In part cause this one hasn’t all that much hop. I can believe this was pretty popular way way back.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
clear yellow-orange colour, no head, candy sugar and light perfumy aroma, too much carbonation, bitter floral finish - not that bad for something "largest-selling"
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle 12 oz. Clear amber color with a medium head. Medium hop and grain aroma. Light body. Medium grainy and hop flavor with a short finish. Better than the standard macro.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours copper with a nice white head. Smells perfumy with some sweet malt hints. Tastes sweet and malty with a grassy, earthy finish.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Had this at CBP. Pours gold, with slight hop aroma. Tastes slightly malty, with some hops and chardonnay in the finish. I’m not sure what the XXX is supposed to mean....maybe the movie playing in John Kruk’s announcing booth?

I got a case free after the GABF. Its sort of drinkable, but best for steaming brats or making beer butt chicken.
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Bottle. One of the worst beers i have ever had. Oddly enought i have a friend who lives on part of there old property dunno what it was used for. Pours thin blond body, with little head. Aroma and flavor is sweet, skunky, and copper. There is nothing to desire here.
DRAINPOUR!

Boy, does this one bring back childhood memories. The drinking age in New York was 18, I could get served at age 13, Son of Sam was stalking the city, and this was about the only thing we had too cool us off - especially when the big power failure hit. Don’t know where I’d find it these days.
