On tap at Frank Beamer’s American grill, Hampton VA. I knew I had made a bad decision when I saw it... Looks like a bud draft. Has a terrible european lager flavor, but I guess it would be good by those standards

Draft at Brewpub. Pours golden with a thin white head. Slight cereal note on the nose. Thicker than expected mouthfeel. Some floral notes on the tongue. Mouth has a nice coating afterwards. Solid example of style.

Clean yellow pour with one finger of head. Nose is bready with notes of diacetyl. Some wet hay. Buttery and wet bread flavor. Bleh.

Bottle, thanks Lalo. Straw golden with no head. Nose is fairly corny, grain, light bread, salty, skunky. Flavor is sweet bread, vegetal notes, grain. This is one of the worst beer’s I’ve had in a while.

Draft. Hazy yellow color, scant white head. Aroma of wet cardboard. Taste is watery cardboard and lemonade. These guys need to try harder, especially now that Hardywood Park is in town.

This is a perfect casual drinking beer or the time at the pub. it has a nice flavor of malts and hops are that are strong but not overbearing. its a very clean tasting beer with no real faults yet nothing too superior.

Bottle. Poured a medium golden yellow with an average sized (1-2 finger) white fizzy head that dissipated rapidly leaving a thin layer of foam lying on top, but did not have any good lacing to speak of. The aroma was very mild of a grain malt, herbal hops and an earthy yeast with just a hint of caramel. The taste was mildly sweet with a hint of caramel at first and then became very lightly hoppy towards the end. The flavor lasted only a short while after the swallow with not much of an aftertaste. Mouthfeel was light in body and watery in texture with a fizzy carbonation. Overall a light tasting beer with a mild hop finish. Great if you want to have more than a few and do not want to feel blotted.

Tap @ Legend. Medium golden dissipating head. Light bready aroma- maybe a light lemon note. Fairly flavorful for a lighter beer. Little bit of a sweet aftertaste.

Pours clear golden with a small white head. Slight aroma of saltine crackers. Body is watery and bland. Lacks backbone. A bit of grassy hops finish things up.

Draught @ Brewpub: This one poured a pale golden color. There was a small white head that left no lacing. There was almost no aroma. Faint malt and a bit of grassy or earthy hops. The taste is OK, but very unexciting. A step up from commercial lagers, but not a big step. It is pretty well executed. Not bad for just a cold one.

(sample) Pours a straw color with a large head. Aroma has notes of vanilla and lime but mostly hay and straw. Taste is the same and has notes of hops. Not very good.
