COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Straw colored light ale, brewed with rice to give a smooth, clean taste, and lightly hopped with a subtle bitterness. One of our featured beers @ BBW during baseball season, named after Babe Ruth and Fenway's infamous curse of the Bambino.

Very light color to it, but i found it to have a slightly nutty taste with a little bitterness.

MY 100th RATING! (tap) This brew tastes like a baseball game... golden classic ale and peanuts. Try this brew outside of Fenway for the ultimate experience. Reverse the curse.

Tap. Pale yellow, decent foamy head. A bit of lemon, some nice citric hoppiness - not too bad considering they even admit to using rice in the commercial description. A little bit of graininess in the end...as an NL Red Sox fan, I hope it helps to break the curse!

Light gold color. Lingering nut taste--one of the best goldens I’ve ever had. I wasn’t expecting much since I don’t like the style too often. Leaves light, minimal head without tasting terrible. Well done! GeniusGirl is a genius for her observation: the peanutty taste gives it a flavor just like a baseball game at the old ballpark.

This straw colored ale is a crisp and clean beer that offers light notes of hops. It goes into the palate with a lightly bitter finish. Great cold.

On draft at Fenway. Light yellow beer with minimal head. As the beer warms a sweet aroma emerges. Tastes like water with lemon zest and finishes with some hop flavor. a beer that would show any contamination - none here. Hop presence is more pronounced as beer warms.

Pretty decent light brew. Had a bit of a fruity flavor to it, and had kind of a watered down flavor, but I guess that’s what you get with a light. I wouldn’t have gotten this, but it wasn’t up to me, probably wouldn’t get it again.

On tap: There was little memorable with this one during a flight of 8 beers. Crisp, refreshing and a nice bitterness.

Very light colored ale--think "lager" essentially. Something fruity here but a quick finish. A tinge of bitterness, but stilll..very light. Not what I expect from a beer.
