12oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a lighter and hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of corn with some sweet malts. Tastes of the same. Thin and watery.

(Bottle, courtesy of Lumpy) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a tall foamy white head. Aroma of toasted grain, grass, metal pipe, floral, soap, and cardboard. Flavor of cardboard, huskiness, and light grassy hops.

Bottle. Clear yellow. Shrimp shell and stewed celery nose. Simple, transparent, nearly flavorless. Body is medium to light, fizzles away at the end. Watery and bland, stale and tastes of wet notebook paper. Pretty terrible, big surprise.

An aptly named beverage. Pouring a slightly hazed, pale yellow body with a frothy white head, it smelled of steamed grasses and cabbages and, perhaps even, as MrsFrankenkity noted, a touch of armpit. Slendid for a gueuze, I know, but not quite right for a Dortmunder. The nose carried over to the taste along with the suggestions of a generic sweet malt and a light zinc bitterness. Ah, the adventures of beer tasting......

Bottle: Clear beige yellow with a light white head. The nose is toasty and corny with some light adjunct, light malt and a little too little hop. No yeast or hops are there in the flavor. Mellow bland flavor. Some faint grass, rubber and husk. They certainly hit their mark.

Bottle from Party Source, KY. Poured clear light amber with a large frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Light hoppy citrus aroma. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a small bitter finish of short duration.

Bottle from Secret Santa. This is the quintissential Kentucky beer! Deep gold pour with some hopcit and pale malt aromas. Light palate with not much flavor going on, but refreshing in the heat.
