On tap at the brewery. Poured a clear, pale straw color with a thin white head that diminished to a ring. Aroma was almost nonexistent, although there were some hints of light corn and some mineral undertones. Crisp, smooth entry without much overall flavor finally leads into some lightly sweet malts paired with a moderate corn flavor that lingers into the dry finish. Crisp and spritzy on the palate. Overall, I had high hopes going into this beer, but I was left with a beer that lacked any pronunciation in either the aroma or flavor.

On tap at Fort Collins Tasting Room (drank not crushed, no womens undergarments involved) poured a clear gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of bread, light citrus and light coriander. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, orange zest and light coriander with a crisp dry malty finish.

Mobile rating. Crushed with TARBra and KevinBra. Dirty and minerally soap laden nose, the solvent-like sour grains and stewed potatoes turn me off instantly. Malt is astringent and lacks depth - tastes cheap with a peaked body that suggests the fermentation temperature was inconsistent or just plain off.
