2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Nuffield (3087) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - MAY 15, 2012
Starts with a bit of a metallic note but that mellows and leaves a beer that is a clear degree of separation from a Belgian blonde...too bad. A little light fruitiness and sweetness but largely dull and a bit shallow in flavors. (on tap, Punch’s Pizza, St. Paul, MN)

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 madvike (1478) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - APR 1, 2012
Bottle from MrPickles...thanks Andy! - Pours clear light yellow with a quickly dissipating foamy white head. Nose is lightly perfumed soap with some light malted grain. The smell kind of grows on you. Taste is pretty similar. It has a nice mineral note to it that dries it out a bit, and there’s a touch of honey sweetness. A little too carbonated, as it bites a little bit going down. Pretty crisp and refreshing.

A pleasant blonde ale that serves well as a sessionable beer. If you want lots of beer in a short time period, this is for you.

Hazy gold. Skunky hops and pale lager-type malts. Generic pale malt profile with a moderately hoppy finish. Residual bitterness.

Not too bad. Pours a crystal clear golden yellow with mid-sized head. Floral, grassy aroma and flavor. Sweetish finish.

Pale gold pour with a thin white head
aroma is dusty, straw, light bready malt.
Get more straw than grassy in the hop flavour. grainy and crackery light sweetness to the malt body.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 theisti (2441) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - NOV 29, 2011
12 oz twist off bottle, purchased as a single at the Four Firkins in St Louis Park, Minnesota. Brewed and packaged by Stevens Point Brewery. The pour is clear golden with a ton of carbonation bubbles and a noisy one inch white head. The aroma is mild citrus sweet along with toasty cracker malt. A tiny hint of floral honey as well. The taste is grainy sweet malt, artificial citrus fruit sweetness, along with a bit of cardboard mid taste which becomes more pronounced in the finish. The cardboard was strongest in the first sip, though it remains throughout the beer. The aftertaste is dry, a bit dirty mineral and pretty unclean. The palate is light bodied, decent amount of fine carbonation, and the dirty finish. I will happily try this again when they take production in house.

An OK beer, nothing special. Deep yellow, no head. Clean and crisp, slightly sweet. Wheaty aftertaste.
