TBone (9414) - Pori, FINLAND - APR 25, 2012
Bottled 330ml (Drink Shop, BB 06/2013)
Clear golden color (when yeast added hazy), good white head, lace. When poured, grassy, a bit skunky hoppyness. then grassy, slightly spicey aroma. Light to medium bodied. Sweetish fruity front (peach) then grassy flavors although bitterness is low. With all yeast added perhaps a bit spicier with oily palate. Quite standard well-brewed blond.

polomagnifico (940) - Saginaw, Michigan, USA - DEC 26, 2011
Bottle. Aroma has notes of white grapes, white fleshed fruits, cereal, and citrus. Medium golden hue with a large white head that mostly diminshed and left some lace. Flavor is medium sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is light bodied and watery soft. Overall a very refreshing brew that is very sessionable. Really liked it.
