2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle, from a Brown Derby, Springfield MO. Golden orange pour with a modest top of fine white. Lots of cooked corn in the nose, then a touch of butter. Under that, some rustic barn notes that are pretty nice. Flavor is slightly rancid butter, spritzy dry toast, sawdust. The buttery quality interferes with an otherwise pleasant touch of brambly hops in the finish. Not sure if this just didn’t travel well or what, but this particular example is not so good.

Bottle. Pours a light golden color with white head. Crisp, straw aroma. Flavors of straw, hay, and bread. My overall opinion of this beer is that it is pretty pale and lacking in flavor. Very drinkable but not overly exciting.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a cloudy yellow with a touch of amber. No head, just a few white bubbles. Sweet flowers and malts, and a little earth on the nose. Taste is simple and clean, with wheat, honey-like sweetness, and minimal dry hop finish. Balanced taste. After taste is something like pellegrino, clean and fresh, but not too exciting.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma of citrus, coriander, honey and leather. Appearance is transparent gold with white head. Flavor matches the nose, with lots of honey, white grape and light tart raspberry. Palate is bubbly and creamy. Very nice.

750mL bottle. Poured slightly hazy medium golden with an easily-resuscitated, dense white head.. looked good in the glass. The aroma was soft dusty, dirty yeast, earthy notes, and a touch of lemon zest.. bready backing.. smelled quite refreshing. The flavor found more of the lightly sour bread and a pinch of honey at the core.. lemon zest, dusty yeast, and a little spruce around.. dry and a tad soapy on the finish. Medium-bodied at most with low carbonation on the palate (could’ve used more).. lightly tart and quite refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of straw, pale and bready malts. Flavor of pale, light malts, some sweet corny/bready notes, perhaps a touch of light fruits. Pretty basic, tastes like a pale lager really, but drinkable nonetheless.

2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Aroma of pale malts, a bit of nuttiness, something vaguely sulfur-like, a generally chemical feel. Flavor a bit peppery with cardboardy pale malts. Troubled and fairly offensive.

Aroma is air freshener, laundry detergent, somewhat artificial light tropical fruits. Taste is grassy hops, mostly mineral water, some pale malt, white corn, very slight tartness. Very average.
