3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 TheBeerGod (4138) - Newport News, USA - JUL 7, 2007
From a growler. Went up today to visit my brother who lives 10 minutes from Extra Billy’s. Didn’t find that out while we were out but my wife had to go out and picked up a growler of this and the Chocolate Porter. Pours a translucent gold. Nose is slightly floral, malty and fruity with a caramel type hint in the background. Taste is slightly hoppy, malty with caramel and fruit notes. My wife said this was like their Corona, but it’s leagues better! Body is medium and has light creamy carbonation. Finishes with sweet malt notes, soft fruit, corny notes and subtle hops. Not bad at all!

2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Drake (5231) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - OCT 28, 2010
Growler filled at the brewpub on 9/18 and opened on 9/20/10. Pours a clear golden color with a thin head that fades somewhat quickly. Aroma of corn, caramel, fruity notes and grassy hops. The taste is grainy malts, corn, green apple and faint leafy hops. Thin and watery. Not very good, but I assume this is what they were going for.
