Draft at Fort Wayne, IN location. Small head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, hazy, no carbonation when served, and a dark golden hue. The nose was citrus hops, grapefruit, lightly malty, and some caramel. The flavor was very thin and watery, mildly hoppy, some caramel, and citrus. The mouthfeel was smooth, thin and watery. Liight in body. An easy to forget brew that had next to no body, very watery and left me drinking more of my ice water than this beer. I have yet to be impressed with GCF&B’s beers. Another case of the food being better than the brews.

This draft brew from the restaurant in Fort Wayne, IN poured a small sized head of frothy white colored medium sized mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a hazy dark orange colored softly carbonated body and a poor lacing. The aroma was almost non-existent. The mouth feel was thin and watery. The flavor was of soft malt and very mild hop.

draft - Pours golden with a one finger white head. The aroma is light malt and a little citrus hops. The flavor is pretty light with mild hops and sweet caramel malt. When it warms up enough, it ends up being pretty decent though still somewhat too thin.

On tap at Rockford Granite City. Pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of mild citrus hops. Tastes a little like watered down apple juice with some light hops and an astringent finish. Luckily this brought my sampler to an end.

Not bad, a bit light in flavour and aroma but it was an easy drinker. Golden coloured with a creamy white head. Creamy flavoured with some sweet malts.
