1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
This honestly has more in common with a macro than any sort of well made craft brew. Over carbonated, pee yellow coloring, no malt profile, no hop aroma, burns the throat like malt liquor........not impressed at all. How did this win TWO gold medals at GABF? I’m 0 for 2 with this brewpub.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Gift from Sj. Some earth, some hop, some grass and some spice. A bit thin for my taste and somewhat ordinary.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Grain and malt nose, wheaty. Crystal clear pale yellow, medium sticky head. Grain dominated flavor, tangy. Alcohol a little more noticeable than it should be. Menu at the brewpub lists this as a pilsner, but it seems more like a helles. Good.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft. Pours clear gold with a white head. Clean and grainy aroma. The flavor is clean and grainy with some light floral notes. Not bad.

Tap. Very pale like straw with thin white head. Faint sweet aroma and flavor. Not too light and not too heavy. Crisp.

Crystal clean pale yellow pour with one finger of white head. Lightly sweet aroma with some bready notes and wet hay. Flavor the same, nice sweetness to grassy balance. Light body and medium carbonation.

Shenandoah Throwdown, 2011. Pale yellow pour with a think fluffy white head. Crisp, clean grassy hop aroma. Light sweetness when it first hits the tongue. Quickly turns to bitternesss. Crisp, bready flavor. Bitterness lingers on the tongue.

Had this during the 2011 Shenandoah Throwdown, growler courtesy of Paul. Pours a clear yellow gold with a large white head. Nice floral notes with touches of vanilla as it warms. Crisp and clean, light grain and toast. Lightly sweet, very crisp, with a touch of grain. Clean and cool, super sessionable. Very nice stuff.
