3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Note: This may or may not be in the correct forum; I’ve contacted RateBeer admins regarding creating a new page based upon the beer the brewmaster gave me. / Brewed under the name "Cally’s Gold". Style: Muncher Lager/Helles.) On tap at the Microfestivus ’07... Orange-amber hued pour, with a nicely retentive head that leaves thick lace. The nose is a balance of hops and light malt. On the tongue, nuts and biscuits follow an initial sweet malt front. The finish is of earthen hops, and lasts a decent time. This has a nicely round body and a slick mouthfeel... goes down easily, and has drinkability.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JAN 16, 2010 Pale gold, slight head fades totally. No discernable aroma. Smooth in the mouth, light corn flavor, but not really objectionable. Very faint bitterness on the finish. About as good as you can get with this style. RERATE: 1/16/09, same, except with hops this time! Nice floral note, markedly better.
