RSRIZZO (1679) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - SEP 23, 2007

Had this beer on 9/14/1999. Color is a pale gold. Taste starts with a light body then goes down easy. Finish is lightly sweet with a bite like a Hefe. This is followed by a mild hop bitterness And flavor. This bottle was over two years old but it still was not a bad beer.

Headbanger (2130) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - MAR 8, 2007

12oz bottle dated 12/96 on label. A slightly cloudy golden color with a very small ring of a head. Aroma of nothing. Taste of sweetness, honey, a slight belgiany taste finishing with an old beer taste. Once again was a good beer when fresh.
