4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tap at the brewery.
Very light straw, beautiful light grassy German hop aroma. Cracker flavors with plenty of lemon and dry hop bite. Not light on the flavor at all; this is a goregous Kolsch that I could drink the shit out of on a hot summer’s day.

This pleasant offering rides the rail between ales and lagers. Clean, with a malt dominance that showcases the quality grains that Will Kemper uses in all his beers. Refreshing, dry finish, but enough body and substance to be more than a lawnmower beer. Light hint of fruity esters adds to character.

Shaker pint draft at the brewpub in Bellingham, Washington. Pour is perfectly clear golden yellow with a one inch pure white head. There are a bunch of effervescent bubbles rising to the surface throughout the beer. Aroma is mildly sweet maltiness, with grass and mineral earthiness. Taste is a perfect combination of the mild sweetness, grassy hay and mineral. Soft, super
and fresh, perfectly clean, delicious. Palate is medium to thin bodied, active carbonation - clean and dry in the finish. Crazy drinkable, really nice stuff.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Growler at a recent BA/RB tasting... Poured golden straw-yellow with a white head. Insanely crisp and light, perfect for hot weather. Just right for the style, with an accent on the biscuity malts, corn, and a low bitterness.

As part of a sampler tray during my visit to Bellingham Extremely light golden crystal clear with a nice full bright white head. Sheets of sticky persistent lacing. Faint light grain aroma and classic laid back lager palate.
Refreshing and clean.
