(12oz bottle, courtesy of Cavie) Pours a clear yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of grain, citrus, and dough. Flavor of dough, grain, and florals with a watery mouthfeel.

Sample from Tapping the Vine beer panel. Straw, bready malt, and hay. Old skunky smell. Not good.

Pours gold with a fizzy white head. Smells of stray and a stray hop. Tastes watery with some weird sweetness on the finish,

A tad better than macrobrewed beers that you usually find in America...but not much. Dump this one and find a better beer please.

Bottle. Label says best before July 2004. Oops. I suspect this beer has been retired, since no one has rated this beer since it has not been rated since August 2004. Apparently this beer has been in the beer store’s cooler for over two years. Sweet. Here we go...pours a gold color with a light white head. Nice hops aroma. Taste is 100% skunk. Let me verify that. Yup, it’s skunk. Drain pour!

Not much going on here. Flavor is balanced but lacking overall. Bland and unremarkable. Not awful but not worth seeking out.
