Pours much paler than I expected, yellow with a golden tinge, thin, white lagery head. Nose is reassuringly funky, lemony, biscuity, blossom. Biscuit carries into the flavour, sweet, sour then bitter quite quickly. earthy hops linger. I quite like it. Im glad its a live beer it may be bland pasteurised. sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 18, 2008 22oz bottle purchased for $4.50 from Bauer Wines in Boston. Pours a just-opaque light gold with a fluffy head. Gentle hop aroma. Flavour is uninspiring and light. Starts off a bit empty upfront, though it does make its way to a decent mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice lacing.
