3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Stopped in for $2 pints on Thirsty Thursday last fall. This beer had an odd look to it. Came out a pale gold. Crystal clear with a thin white sheet of froth on the top. This really looked like a pale lager. I expected a bit more ruby hue, but not a huge deal I guess. Basic aroma - grains, floral hops, biscuits.
Good clean feel. Really easy to drink this one. Simple flavors. Mild bitterness, some sweet pale fruit quality, buttered biscuits, bready finish. This was a simple beer. If not anything else, this would make a great offering for the masses. Probably not one I’d get again with so many other good choices here, but it was simple and refreshing.

Draft at the source. Clear golden color, white edge head. Aroma of dusty fruit. Taste is fruity and lager like.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft. Cloudy orange with minimal head. Detect a decent yeast amount. No lacing. Skip worthy.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a hazy soft yellow with a thin frothy white head. The nose is fruity, sweet, corn, malty. The flavor is grainy and suffers from the same "foot" flavor the other NG brews do. Crisp mouthfeel with a light grassy hop character.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at NG. Pours a opaque copper color with a fizzy white head. Has hints of yeast, light hops, and finishes kind of sweet. Nothing special here.
