Oct 13, 2006 12 oz bottle from Woodmans on Gammon Road, Madison (Oct 2006) consumed a bit above fridge temp from a Corsendonk glass. Bottle says "Hausmann Pale Beer." Light gold and slightly bubbly with a thin diminishing head....unpleasant nose of skunk, rotting vegetables, a bit of caramel, sun-bleached plastic....body isn’t so awful as the nose but isn’t really good either, with light pale malt and little caramel struggling to rise above the extremely watery and heavily filtered body, sitting lifeless and sludgelike in the glass....the finish adds a metallic component to the charms of an already nearly worthless beer; Grays should really consider not doing any contract brewing anymore!

Aug 3, 2004 Tap at the UW Memorial Union. Clean straw color with a smaller off white head. Mild aromas of pale malt and mild hopsack. Faily thick in feel for appearance. Light sweet malt start with a lightly acidic hops backbrop. Some light fruit amid the frey. A standard american golden ale.

Jan 19, 2006 I bought a bottle at Woodman’s in Madison. The body was medium gold with a white head. The aroma had potatoes, over ripe tomatoes and some green beans. The taste is some light potatoes with green bell peppers. There is also a little hint of black pepper spice. A slick and thin mouthfeel.

Apr 18, 2005 Tap at Memorial Union. Amber color with no head. Moldy hop aroma. Bad, bad, bad taste... moldy honey and wet cardboard. This is just wrong.

Aug 6, 2007 Bottle thanks to Skyview! Poured a clear, brilliant medium orange with a short, well-retained cap of white head. The aroma picked up candied caramel paired with a dry floral hop presence.. soft with building sweetness the deeper you inhale.. quite pleasant. Flavor had a sweet, yet darker caramel and vegetal base with grassy and floral bitter accents.. left a rather lengthy vegetal finish (was pretty good up until that point). Light-bodied and again felt good until the finish... tacky veggies, some sour fruit, and grass left a less-than-pleasant final impression. This wasn’t far from a solid session brew.. just need to iron out a few kinks.
