22 ounce bottle purchased at Bel-Air in Woodland. My bottle has a red label that states that a portion of the proceeds would be donated to guide dogs. The aroma on this has some sweet honey malt characteristics. Light cereal. Not much else. Perhaps a little grassiness. Transparent golden-orange body with a small, off-yellow head. I like the hue on this. Starts slightly metallic, before some cereal maltiness and light honey malt sweetness becomes apparent in the middle. I’m also getting a trace of diacetyl in this. Finishes with a very lightly bitter, spicy hop kick. Decent. Could use a little more in the aroma.

UPDATED: JUN 22, 2012 I had this in a shared tasting with Strykzone. It poured a hazy light orange amber. It raised a huge head that tool forever to settle. Massive lacing rings. The nose is light ripe fruit, flowers, and a hint of sulfur. Light in body. Fizzy in mouthfeel. The flavor is not strong and shows lot of light fruit. The more I drank it the better it got. Appreciated the reasonable ABV. Light bitter finish. Not an outstanding beer, but drinkable.

22oz bottle. Rating #11. Golden pour with a dark white head. Clean bready, biscuity aroma with just a hint of a hop presence. Nice flavor, light bitterness and a mild grainy quality that was really quite nice. Very enjoyable beer. (1972)

a very interesting session beer. the beer is thin in palate and has a mild taste of sour cream and yogurt. its very thin but its very drinkable. its not special but very drinkable.

Pours clear dark golden color with white head. Grassy aroma with bready malts. Bready flavor with light fruitiness and somewhat grassy. Lightt body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle. Light golden color with a tiny head that quickly disappears. The nose is quite sweet, plenty of honey, some pine, syrup. The taste is light honey, light maltiness with a watery finish. This beer lacks a bit in the flavor department. Active carbonation. Light body. Overall, not a great beer.

Pours a pretty clear amber with a decent white head. Strong aroma has fruity and hoppy notes - quite a bit of hops, in fact, approaching an IPA. Satisfying flavor has a malty core, a fairly bitter overtone of hops, and an underpinning of pear plus a touch of caramel. Firm texture has a decent amount of fizz.

14 karat pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma of mild hops, yeast, and a touch of pine. Lots of buttery yuck in flavor...not good at all. Clearly, something is wrong here...drain poured it.

Bottle poured into glass. This was a quick pull off the shelf since it was so cheap. The taste has hints of slight hops and salt in the flavor. It was quite hard to swallow to be frank.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear golden color with a very small head. Slightly metallic nose, though it’s in a glass bottle. Light on the taste and palate. Slightly malty flavor, though not much to it.
