2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at Brockway. Poured a clear, bright pale golden with a pool and a ring of white head. Mild aroma with sweet pale malts, some honey, and a hint of citrus. Flavor found soft pale malts and honey again at the base with a mild floral and lemony bitterness... crisp and quite tasty. Light-bodied but never watery.. ideal medium carbonation... refreshing!
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
This draft brew from the brew pub poured a medium sized head of frothy white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent softly carbonated light straw yellow colored body. The mild aroma was malt hop. The semi-flat smooth mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of corn malt and hops. Not one that I would likely buy again.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours ultra-pale with a short whitey that fades quick to film. No aroma ("subtle" is right!). Flavor finds a thin, light nuttiness to a lagered sourness. Well made... it is what it is. <font size=-4>On tap at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/palati Chophouse, Palatine, IL 60067</font>
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
This was getting pulled offline at the brewpub because there was yeast in the tank, but that was fine with me. It poured a very pale yellow body, only slightly hazy, with a big creamy head that did some nice lacing. It’s a very light lager, so the malty sweetness was pretty modest, but it was notably adjunct free. It finished a a mild but surprising grassy bitter note. Acceptable warm weather fare. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Chophouse, Palatine, IL<font size=-1>
