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.

Bottle. Translucent amber with a foamy, rocky white head. Aroma is fruity with sweet malt, light caramel, a touch of butterscotch, and floral hops. Taste is sweet malt, floral hops, light citrus and grassy notes. Body is light-medium with a soft, bubbly carbonation. Ends with more sweet malt, grains, grassy notes and soft fruit.

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.

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.

Caramel nose is quite noticable (diacetyl?). Yeast, red fruit, mineral note. Lean, then drying.

Carry Maris otter aroma. Catty . Hikes looks good. Bad aromas burn off. Manure. Tangy .

Pours urine color. Aroma is bready malts. Taste is odd...bready malts, a little citrus then it all disappears. Palate is dry. No good.

Poured from the bottle. Pours slightly cloudy. Aroma is grainy and of cereal. Also tastes this way. Blah, I don’t think I will finish the whole bottle, too much better stuff in my fridge.
