Snojerk321 (907), San Diego, California, USA May 10, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Very impressed with this blonde. Pours a very slightly hazy golden color with a small fizzy white head. A calm nose with hints of yeast and malt with a light hop presence.
rayOfBeer (196), El Cerrito, California, USA Jun 20, 2008 Poured on tap at Lanesplitter a blond color with virtually no head. Aroma was malty grass. Flavor is malt with some cardboardy grass notes and a slight toast with some sour tones. Palate is light and tart. This beer just didn’t suit me. Maybe because I had a Death and Taxes before, but this came off as stale and hardly drinkable. May try again one day. Acknud (556), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Jun 14, 2008 Very light and clean. Crisp on the palate. Spicy hop aroma. Clean fresh hops taste. Malt is more evident at the end. luv_casks (169), USA May 21, 2008 Pours hazy with a nice white pillowy head and a really night light hay golden color
Nose of clean base malts and some noble hops.
Flavor: Smooth soft round and refreshing - clean malt complexity, restrained hop flavor and a creamy finish. A fleeting tartness is there - the creaminiess seems to hide this
Palate: Slightly creamy and a hint of dryness in finish
Overall: A really nice well made beer - perfect for a grill on a summer day. Nicely balanced just wish the aroma would be more expressive AgentSteve (621), Livermore, California, USA Apr 28, 2008 Pours golden clear with off white head. This isn’t really my style, bit it seemed good after a long week and hot weather. Nose was bitter and a bit harsh, but the flavor was much more subtle and smooth. The finish was a bit malty, and all together a very easy drinking beer.
