2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
The aroma is refreshing with citrus hops, yeast, malt, a bit of fruit, and spice. The appearance is golden with a smallish head. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is thin but right for the style. The beer is drinkable and refreshing overall but not impressive.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap @ Boston/NY 2009. Named southwest summer ale. Slight hazy golden color, medium head. Quite carbonated. Bit wheat, bit sweet. Quite boring taste.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Sampled on draft at the Headkeeper in Greensburg PA this beer poured a pale yellow color with a medium sized white head that faded quickly. The aroma was bland with faint dry malts. The flavor was dry and a bit nutty with a faint hint of floral hops. The finish was long and dry. Bland.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear golden pour with a large three finger white head. The aroma is primarily sweet caramel malt with a touch of fruity yeast esters. There’s really not much going for it. The flavor is toast, cereal grains, and mild bready/caramel malt with a non existent finish. The palate is thin, watery, crisp, and clean. Thoroughly unimpressed.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Pours a macro clear gold with standard white head. Aroma of rice wine, some floral hops, and corn. Flavor of corn, cereal malt, and rice wine. Mouthfeel is thin, a bit crisp but soft overall. The cereal malt quality permeates in the finish. This had a tad more depth than I expected but was too sweet with the corn.
3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A bready, citrusy, beer with a fine, slightly watery aftertaste. A refreshing and light choice for a hot summer day.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light color with a small head. Aroma is light, some sweetness and light bitterness. Flavor is balanced and nicely drinkable for a summer. Some light sweetness and faint citrus hops.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a light yellow with a thin, fizzy head. Weak nose of wheat and some mild citrus. Flavor is light and crisp, some hints lemony and tartness, along with some metallic notes. Very light body, very bubbly and, as I said, crisp. Nothing special but probably refreshing on a hot day. (I drank it in late November.)
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Found a single bottle of this leftover from trying it over the summer. Pours a clear yellowish-orange color with a small white head that comes and goes fast. Aroma is citrus, floral, hops, and apricots. This beer has tart lemon-y type taste to it, and the finish to me is kind of reminiscent of Dogfish’ Festian Peche. Very light body and thin texture. Nothing too extravagant but I could definitely be "quaffed" on a hot summer day
2.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This beer has a delicious light flavor with a very floral aroma, that goes really good on a hot summer day! a very good seasonal summer beer with just the right amount of tartness
