Bright dark yellow body with a thick egg shell colored head. The aroma was rich apple pie along with some hints of grass. A little bit grainy. Smells like a summer fair to me. The taste is bright with some apple core and cake donut. There was also a little bit of corn flakes, but in a verypleasing manner. Absolutely solid, this is an excellent summer beer.

Pours gold into a stein. Soapy white head recedes to skm rim. Cookie aromas. Hoppy and crisp upfront with a dry, lasting sour finish.

Had it at GBBF 2008, not that big deal, but very refreshing. I liked the banana alike colour and the sweet head.

A Mes rate: draught at GBBF.
Clean gold with a thin white head. Sweet and malty with some faint toffee. Slight sweetness in the finish. Bland as hell but it’s reasonably well balanced and very drinkable.

(6/31/08) Draught at the brewpub in Bamberg. Clear deep golden. Aroma is a bit vague with some malt. Sweetish flavor with a bit of butterscotch hints and a very short lightly dry finish. Medium-bodied

Bottle at GBBF 08. Clear gold with a cereal aroma. Soft and delicate with a balanced taste. A bit bland and forgettable though.

Bottle. Grassy, lightly citric nose with a faint yeast-wisp. Slightly hazy yellow pour with a short off-white head. Taste is strongly bitter with some hard hopping and wood, astringent but not redeeming, sweet pale malt and a touch of lemon, most of the grassy notes departed. Touch of hay, very nice chalky character. Medium body. Ok.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel notes. Sweet flavor with caramel malt notes. Ends sweet.
