Pours golden with a small, disapearing white head, and champagne like bubbles. Light orange zest and a hint of malts, but mainly remniscent of most macros I’ve had. Mainly apple like bitter-sweetness, and not much else going on in the flavor. Palte is medium/light and grassy. Like other flying dog ales, this is easy drinking, but nothing special.

This beer was pretty awful. First of all, the color is nothing special. I don’t understand why one would actually purchase this beer, due to the fact that the taste doesn’t exist. It has too crisp of a finish, as if you were drinking club soda. If you were to let this beer sit out it would probably flatten out in seconds.

Pale yellow. Light bodied, light flavored. I apparently do not have the ability to distinguish a kolsch from a pale lager. Not offensive, yet very plain.

Bottle from Hy-Vee poured into my stand-by glass, the NB globe - Pours clear gold with a 1 finger white head and no visible carbonation; Sour, salty pork and dill pickles to the nose; Made me jump back. Yuck. A little dill and malt on the initial taste; A clean and bready aftertaste; A watery-medium body; Decent carbonation; Nasty aroma, weird taste. Like a really sour pale lager. Would not recommend in any way.

Pours a two finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Almost cloudy pale amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Slight grassy/hay nose. Starts with a hop bite and has a grainy, hoppy/bitter finish. $1.25 for a 12oz bottle from Smiley’s Beverage Dover, NH.

Bottle. Hazy yellow in color. Head is sudsy and decipates quickly. Scent is a mild malt, not overpowering by any means. Beer was actually refreshing. Sweet tasting with a mild astringent aftertaste. Overall a decent beer. Probably great for the summer months!

Golden slightly hazy pour with a white foamy 1-finger head. Strong band-aid aroma. Undercarbonated. Funky stale aftertaste. An aptly named beer.
