(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.

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.

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.

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.
