A Columbus, Ohio, favorite: a veritable potpourri of flavors in this one. You’ll taste the citrus, the sweet malt--basically all the reviews thus far have got the flavorings right. Not everyone’s choice for a beer since it looks like a rich Sam Adams but tastes nothing like lager. Worth a try when in Columbus.

6/9/07: Sample at Columbus Ale Fest ’07.
Luscious light tan head with a bright yellow body. Lace is creamy and hugs glass. Fresh nose of straw – grass and florals. Flavors includes bread – lemon grass & malt. Clean fresh finish. Haven’t had a gold top since college… glad to have this one again.

I liked this beer alot! I miss Hoster’s...I had to mark it down in appearance though, as I had it at Victory’s here in Columbus and it was served in a red PLASTIC cup!!! So I couldnt really see it. But it tasted nice.

Draft at Boston’s Bistro, Dayton. Poured dark golden with a big, sticky head. Big, rich and malty but with a decent sharp bitter finish. Quite good, actually.
