Pale yellow, disappearing head; dust, pepper and pissa roma; sweet taste with a funny hop aroma; vaguely bitter, lightly peppery finish. Not the best I’ve had, but not the worst by any means

Pale golden, sparkly, hardly any head. Sweet plastic aromas include coconut oil. Oily palate but oddly enough, finishes clean! Very thin. Exceptionally sweet. Ghastly lack of body. Most of the flavor is at the front of the tongue. Seems chemically and yet is not as bad as I expected.

Golden-straw colour. The head disappeared. The appley nose is also sugary. Flat. Tastes like apple, plastic and chemical. Very dirty. There is nothing for the badness to hide behind...a horrid concoction.

Bottle from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Light orange tinged gold color with a white head that promptly dissipated. A medium malty aroma with a possible hint of grassy hop. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is strong pale palt with a touch of wheat and very little grassy bitter. It is smooth and drinkable - almost having an aged in the wood note. Could use a bit more hop.

The aroma is sweet malt, citrus, soap, and flowers. The appearance is pale gold with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth but thin. I don’t think this is that good.

This is a guilty pleasure beer, despite my low rating, I think this a beer I can drink on days from rough days. its got some flavors of corn and high alcohol. more like a fancier version of a malt liquor. I’ll drink it.
