Bottle. Light yellow color with a minimal hazy. Bubbles up quickly and the head disappears just as fast. Mild sour yeast nose. Tastes of citrus, mostly lemon with a bit of dough. Clean mouthfeel and aftertaste. There’s not a lot to this beer, but on a hot day or as a session beer, it’d work. For the price, I’m ok with it.

Not the best offering from Butte Creek. Very Dissappointing. Pourd the expected Cloudy light yellow. It had some decent head that evaporated sooner than expected. Lacing was good and carbonation was acceptable. Aroma rather yeasty. Light palate/mouthfeel; almost watery. tast sour and yeasty with subtle hints of clove and banana. This is drinkable, but not a go out and get tomorrow brew. If you’re a true Hef fan, you’ll most likely be dissappointed. I won’t be getting this one again soon.

Pours a hazy light peach color with a white head. Aroma is peach, wheat, spice, and some yeast. Flavor is spicy, wheat, and a light bitter finish.

Bottle from Ray’s Liquor in Chico. Aroma is light banana, light spice, light noble hop, light pale malt. Slightly hazy light gold color with a white head that didn’t wholly arrive. Thinnish in body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is banana, wheat, followed by lemon notes that just come out of nowhere. The finish is dry, slightly citric, with some wheatishness. Crisp and refreshing.
