On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours clear light yellow with a nice white head, spider web lace. Smells light and malty crisp. Man is this a tasty fizzy yellow beer. Nice tasty malts and then slightly nutty hops. Not nutty in a bad way though. Medium body, good carbonation.

On tap @ Live Wire. After a pliny, Old Viscosity and a midas touch, this was a nice change of pace. I have to agree with the others, this did have quite a strong corn/cereal flavor about it, but not in a bad way. Pretty much the kind of beer you expect from BP, well done and tasty. A good summer backyard beer.

On Tap at Hamiltons. Spot on accurate helles. Straw color. Great head retention. Dry/crisp finish. Lightly sweet from grain/malt with a mild hop character. N

I think this on is also called Blue Fin. Had this at the Mammoth Festival. Pours a pale gold. Smells bready and sweet. Finishes crisp and refreshing. A nice lager.
