On tap in downtown. Pours a clear light yellow almost neon green. Temporary white head. Aroma is skunky, medicinal, lemon. Taste is lemon cough syrup. This was just gross.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 09/10/2008 Thick white head. Floral aroma. Clear golden coloured and sweet on the palate with a smooth and slightly dry malt finish.

A pale yellow lager with a thin white head. A rather interesting aroma of wild honey and clover, some floral hops. In mouth, crisp malt, with light treacle and honey. Medium bodied. On tap at Downtown location, Jan. 6 2009.

On tap at the Downtown location. At first glance the beer itself does not appear too dissimilar to a regular lager. The aroma did appear to be slightly more sweet than one would expect - obviously from the honey added. The flavor was not bad, but from what I may have been expecting, it was not exceptional. A good beer none the less, but perhaps I was expecting something more sweet and less dry when all was said and done. If I make it to the Virginia location I may have to grab it once more in the mason jar that it is apparently being sold in.
