| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a bright, deep honey-golden color; effervescent; thin white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing; attractive, bright pour. Very light, clean aroma: basic sugar, honey; not much here. Medium mouthfeel: lively carbonation; again, basic sugar, cereal malts, and a touch of honey upfront; very light hop character (nondescript bitterness); this isn’t so very distinguishable from a solid premium lager; simple, moderately crisp and bitter. The finish is the nicest part of this: lots of toastiness, bread, and a solid mineral bitterness; pleasant ending. lithy (1687), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
