Draft sample at Keg Fest of Ale. Poured clear amber color with a minimal fizzy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate cream ale and floral aroma. Light to medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with a light to medium sweet finish of short to moderate duration. My expectations where not met.

on tap at richos. Poured clear golden color with medium head and light laceing. Very light bitterness with hints of honey and rye. Slight licorish notes

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House during RBSG Road Trip 2007. Cloudy gold, no head. A very still beer. Rye is prominent in the nose and flavor. Lightly sour. Some almost wheatlike qualities, some banana. Rye and juniper are apparent in the flavor, and step on everything else. Not bad, but odd.

Draught at the brewpub. Clean golden body with a short white head. Sweet malty nose is lightly fruity with a touch of vomit (would that be the hops or juniper?). Very ’European’ to me. Thin body, spicy and herby with this great planty sweetness coming in waves. Honey. Relaxing. A touch of malt oils up the body. Very interesting, liked this a lot!
