2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear yellow with a thin white head. The taste was kind of a dry, nutty taste. I could drink this again.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Poured from bottle. No aroma. Golden color, white head doesn’t last. Some sweet malt here, not much else. It is crisp and drinkable. Finished ok. Could be worse.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
From bottle, shared by a fellow volleyball teammate in exchange to get him to drink a Hoegaarden. Sure, I got ripped, but it was an outreach move. The pour was pale yellow with light carbonation. The aroma was like a light pilsner moreso than a pale lager w/ adjuncts everywhere. The flavor, however, was more along the lines of a pale lager, yet with some discernable pilsner qualities: light grass and the pilsner/sulfury malts. The mouthfeel was light. Better than a standard pale lager, but not much more of a beer than that.

sample atthe brewery Clear champagne color with medium white head and bubbles throughout. Aroma is sweetly grassy with some corn evident. Taste is reasonable, crackers and corn with a nice well-oiled mouthfeel.

1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Maybe I just don’t like the style, but this beer did absolutely nothing for me. Fizzy head that dissipates very quickly. Ah well. Cool label.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Short Pump, VA. Pours a clear orangeish yellow color with loads of carbonation. Medium creamy white head shows fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is grainy with sweet corn and grassy hop notes. Taste is sweet corn, sugar and the faintest note of grain and green apple. No bitterness at all. Thin-medium bodied,
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Appearance: Pours a dull, golden body with a very thin, white head.
Smell: Faint, meek, uninspiring nose of humble grains and sweet-scented corn kernels. Simple indeed!
Taste: Taste of steeped grains with a cereal, corn-laced sweetness and an approaching wateriness. Very mild, floral hop presence, with only the tiniest amount of bitterness. Drying, near-empty finish.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: Well, that wasn’t anything to roar about. It’s not crisp, it’s not complex, and it’s not even marginally enjoyable. Pass on this one.
