Commercial Description:
This recipe is a true craft ale brewed with only water, yeast, hops and malted barley, in keeping with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. We have designed it with a vibrant golden amber hue and a refreshing body. The mild addition of Kent Golding hops balances the generous amounts of caramel malts to give it a malty rather than a bitter finish. A special strain of California Ale Yeast gives the brew a slight hint of fruity aroma.

12oz bottle. INFECTION!!! woooooo INFECTION! but its seems to be a positive thing for this beer so I shall rate it! The description of this beer is quite odd. Pours a very clear glowing golden with a medium foamy sudsy white head. Aroma is fruity, lightly sweet and tangy, some sour, touch of acidity and maybe some brett. Wow... It’s almost lambic-like, which make sense as its now a funky low-alcohol blonde ale. Flavor is fairly sharp, some acetic, loads of funky cheesy brett, light hard-candy caramel glassy sweetness, but mostly dry. Med/light bodied with larger somewhat corse soda carbonation, quite dry. Happy infection here.

Appearance is yellow, slightly orange color with mild off white head. Aroma is bitter, yeasty smell with a grassy, malt, sharp hops taste.

Had this from a mix 12-pack I picked up while visiting Milwaukee. A solid ale, but nothing special by any means.

The appearance is a sunny, clear yellow. Hint of orange. Tons of carbonation. Icy, white lace. Decent specks of lace. The smell is of a light ale, almost to the point of being lager-like. Strictly average. The taste is that of a very skimpy lager. Corny and close to a macro for sure. Not really unpleasant but bargain basement flavor. The feel is light but with a touch of a creamy body; not bad. It’s a very basic, unchallenging brew. Not much to distinguish it. A challenge to finish, quite honestly.

(bottle). Semi-cloudy golden color. Medium off white head which is mostly diminishing. Light grassy aroma. Very light grass and malt flavors. Avg duration. Slick texture. Soft carbonation. Spare lacing.

Bottle (12oz). Slightly amber gold, clear, large lasting foamy-fizzy off-white head. Odd dry lemony aroma, sweet, somewhat floral - not digging it at all. Taste is - ick - lemon cough syrup, weeds, plastic, blech. Light body, weak carbonation, a long sour-harsh, almost plastic aftertaste. No thanks.

Pours a yellow gold with a white head. Aroma of yeast and malts. Flavor of malts with some yeast. Too bubbly for my liking.

Floral aroma with a hint of skank. Gold pour with a nice topper. Cute label that looks like a greeting card. A tasty brew whose syle is a little hard to pin down. It turns out to be a mild ale, which I have not had very much. Malty sweetness, a little caramel, some peppy hops. Not outstanding, but underrated.
