Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Feb 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden body with a 2 finger white head. Some mild maltiness with hints of fruit, some mild earthy bitterness. Sweet earthy apple and some more caramel malt to finish. Thin and simple. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 10, 2008 Pours a hazy dark yellow with a thin white head. Slightly skunky malt aroma with hints of hops. Slightly fruity crisp malt taste and slight bittering hops. Only found this ok, no tas refreshing as I had hoped. elihapa (1033), Honolulu, California, USA Oct 31, 2008 Bottle. Appearance is light yellow, with a dissipating head. Aroma is nondescript, perhaps a bit of grass. Flavor is bread, sugar, grass, and light fruit. Palate remains crisp, but finishes sticky. To be honest, this beer was kind of a mess to me. Crisp, but bready. Sticky, yet with Pilsner-esque grass notes. Just didn’t come together. porterhouse (1148), Alna, Maine, USA Oct 11, 2008 (22 oz. bottle from Marcorelle’s) Pours hazy gold/yellow. Interesting that it’s not amber at all. Three rocky fingers of white head. Aroma is sort of honeyish with kind of a hayish organic quality that’s hard to pinpoint. Some piney, sweaty hops were sniffed as well. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth but a bit pebbly. Not really much texture. Patchy, webby lacing. Flavor of weak sweet malt and a touch of a bitter bite on back end. Bland. No caramel, no fruitiness. Kind of a weak offering from Berkshire. thornecb (1735), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Sep 25, 2008 Pours a slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Fluffy white whipped cream head. Biscuit and caramel aromas. Thin to medium and malty from front to back. No hop presence. fata2683 (836), Panama City, Florida, USA Sep 15, 2008 I had this on tap at a pizzeria in the Springfield area visiting family. We enjoyed pitchers of this all night and it paired well with the pizza. Nice and cold, light and crisp. Moderate carbonation and a decent bittering finish. WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 12, 2008 Bomber probably a bonus, Pours gold with a bright white head. Nose is light. Taste is light and basically a sub par pale ale. Derek881 (486), Frederick, Maryland, USA Sep 2, 2008 Enjoyed this beer poured from the growler in MA. An average gold-straw color, that was mostly clear and had a decent-sized, foamy, off-white head. Mixed aroma of some barley malt, and grainy and earhty hops. A good flavor, only lightly sweet, with a bitter hoppy focus. A fuller, but dry beer, with good carbonatoin and a nice mouthfeel. Solid beer, and great to have available by the growler.
