Nose of pepper, yeast, and spice, softer than the nose of blue moon. Pours sparkling golden honey with blonde highlights. The mostly lasting firm creamy/frothy off-white head leaves good lacing. The brew starts with toasted malt and cereal. High acidity is present with a finish that is both fruity and bready. The light body is creamy and lively with a finish that feels dry.

Okay, this is the winner from two years ago. The were showcasing this again for a limited time. Taking into accounts the limits set on brewers by Ohio law, I think this guy did a pretty good job. I poured a light amber color with a nice off white head. Had an aroma of hops, malt and some not citrus, but I would say apples. A slight sweet taste to it with elements of malt. A little lighter in both body and alcohol then this style calls for, but a good beer nonetheless.
