grimreeser (795), Minnesota, USA Feb 7, 2008 Pours orange golden with a thin white head that disappears quickly, a little bit of lacing. Light grassy aroma, I notice a little citrus as well, easy drinking, but a nice sharp bitterness. Nothing spectacular, but solid. drpimento (785), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Feb 5, 2008 Pretty mild nose. Nice foamy frothy head and some lace. Polished brass color with a very slight hint of haze. Interesting interplay between the sweetness, bitterness, and carbonation. Much better than what I’d remembered when I first had it a while back. Clean finish and satisfying. Had this on draft at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wis. gws57 (1131), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Feb 5, 2008 Had this one bottled (bottled?!) at the brewery in New Glarus, Wisconsin. Hazy, dark yellow pour with a foamy, off white head, fruity, hoppy nose with a sweet balanced taste. Champagne mouthfeel. Meh. howie (549), DeForest, Wisconsin, USA Feb 2, 2008 Very light grassy hop aromas. Good bitterness and hop flavor though. Plents of malt backbone. Low carb. Flawless, like most NG beers, just not particularly outstanding for the style. A little aroma hops would go a long way here. troyc (1173), Lubbock, Texas, USA Jan 28, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a golden color with a small white head. Aroma of light hops, caramel, and grass. Mildly bitter taste, with some light toffee, lots or grain, and even a bit of soap. Crisp, dry finish. Average palate and mouthfeel. Pretty good flavor for an organic beer.... and about what I expected overall. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jan 20, 2008 Transparent and golden brass in color with a creamy, sudsy tan head. Sweet, honey hopped aroma with ginger, sun stained peas, lemon grass and subtle caramel caressing the nose. Hoppy, altruistic flavor reaches forward with jovial grass stains and freshly picked lemon grass. A hint of vanilla sweetening coats a handful of sun glazed golden corn chex. Honey glaze grass hints at the ripening greenery. Saffron and lilacs met with caramel and green grass stems. Herbal rosemary and hopped green tea. Precursory sweetness abides throughout. Subtle peaches and tangerine citric sentiments take their turns, but are overshadowed by a glowing, buttery vanilla gloss. Medium bodied and well carbonated, finishing with a hoppy and a sweet, sugary snap and grassy outtake. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jan 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange with a thin, spotty white head. Slightly grainy and semi-sweet pale malty nose has some mild grassy hop notes. Body follows suit with the aroma, some lightly sweet toasted grainy malt flavor and a muted bittering hop presence toward a bittersweet finish. Quite drinkable and not really offensive, just doesn’t seem to have any outstanding characteristics. bboeckl (133), Grafton, Wisconsin, USA Jan 15, 2008 Aroma of herbal hops. Taste is not of honey, slight herbal hop taste. A bit malty, a bit yeasty. Mouthfeel is not heavy. Thinner palate but this fits the hop/malt profile. Extremely drinkable. A good beer for refreshment. Nothing spectacular and lacking complexity.
