Light nose, a touch of bread dough and herbs. Light and dry taste with a touch of bitterness, dry cereal and floral hops. Nice stuff. Impressive offering for a brewery I’ve never heard anything about.

Draught at TJ’s: Aroma of malt, grain, noble hops, and slight citrus. Poured yellow/gold in color with a small, creamy, white head that lasted throughout. Slightly hazy. Not sparkling. Ok lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malt, grain, noble hops, bread. Light to medium body. Lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Malt, grain, noble hop finish is lightly dry.

corby112 (1862) - philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 29, 2011
Draft at Rembrandt’s. Pours a clear, dark golden yellow color with a one finger frothy white headthat slowly settles into a lasting ring. Sporadic spots of lacing left behind. Subtle earthy, floral aroma with hints of grassy hops and pale malt along with some light fruit notes. Smelly slightly creamy with hints of apple and faint alcohol. Medium bodied with a nice crisp floral hop bite up front that is countered by sweet pale malt, subtle alcohol and light fruit notes. Slightly earthy and grassy and faintly dry but not very bitter. Well balanced with pale pilsner malt and a crisp light apple flavor. Slightly dry with a bit of alcohol in the finish. Well balanced and really easy to drink especially in this humid weather.

Beerman6686 (2384) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 24, 2011
This poured a darker golden color with a white head. Aroma was very noticable buttery diacetlye, and some grassy hops too. Flavor was much the same, lots of buttery toasted malts. Blah.

From tap at Khybar. Pours cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Vague butterish aroma. Sweet caramelish and slight roasted malt. Bitter and light grassy into a malty finish.

PapaSkeetSkeet (555) - Corvallis, Oregon, USA - FEB 20, 2011
Hazy, almost cloudy, pale gold with white head. Aroma/Flavor of mild bitter graininess and hoppiness. Refreshing but not as malty as a good helles can and should be.
