Tap at Cornerstone. Clear yellow pour with a soapy white head. Aroma and grain and mild malt. Just okay.

Sub par even for style. +++ Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a very pale yellow color with a huge soapy white head that faded quickly and left great lacing. The aroma was faint dry industrial lager with a touch of citrus. The flavor was dry cardboard with a hint of citrus and touches of butter and nut. Dry tart and citric finish. Sub par.

Draft sample. Poured clear golden color with a medium frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet balanced aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

It’s called grindstone gold and I’m thinking grindstones may have been used in the production of this beer. Pours piss colored from tap with no head. Taste is slightly metallic and dare I say gritty. Clean finisher.

Nothing special and skippable. Carbonation right there. Little to look at and no aroma, 11 ibu.Unoffensive and drinkable.

Light of course but nice hops odor with grapes at early btaste, some fruit notes and much like a Koelsch style Ale rather than a lager, no head but some lacing

pours a clear golden with a small white head. notes of grass, hay, pilsiner malt. low carbonation. skunky. subpar pilsner.

Sample at the brewpub. Is a clear golden color with off white head that dissipates quickly. Laces a little at the top of the glass only. Has a very subtle aroma of hops and sweetness. Mouthfeel is very light. Has a crispness to it. Flavor is malt sweetness that is very subdued. Nothing more. Overall just an ok brew. Has a twang I really don*t care for.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear yellow-gold color with a wispy bone white head that disappears quickly. Stringy lacing. Mildly hoppy aroma with notes of corn and malt. Light-bodied with light grassy hops and grainy malt flavors. The finish is mildly bitter hops and the aftertaste does not last long. Overall this is unmemorable.

Pale and transparent polished brass in color with a fluffy white foam cap on top. Paprika, sandstones and buttery sourdough crust - along with a garden bite - sneak up the nose. Some fabric sheets come in on the backend. Larger flavor profile than expected, laying in with dinner rolls soaked in golden sweet whole kernel corn juice. Sand goes over light grahams, and margarine slips over sourdough. Herbaceous honeysuckle and marigolds drum in the distance. Supportive carbonation and hard to seriously fault, finishing out with a sweet cream cornbread outtake.
