Commercial Description:
Brewed with flaked barley and the finest Wisconsin malts. We even give a nod to our farmers with a little hint of corn. Naturally cloudy we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which can not be duplicated otherwise. Expect this Ale to be fun, fruity and satisfying.

From a 12 oz bottle courtesy of a trade with Erik of Indiana, this poured a clear cross between orange and gold for the first glass and a hazy pour for the second showing there was yeast in the bottom of the bottle. Good head retention and nice lacing. Nose is caramel malts and some light floral hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is lightly sweet and fruity. Finish lightly bitter. A very easy drinking beer.

12 oz bottle that pours a slightly hazed orange/gold with a smaller fluffy white head. Sweet aroma of corn. molassess, plastic and glue. Medium bodied with very bubbly carbonation and a watery mouthfeel. Flavor of grass, cinnamon, bread and nutmeg. What the hell this smells almost like a wit and tastes like a spiced up holiday beer. Not my cup of tea.

Gift from Cohen. I had heard...on several occasions...that this was a good good beer. Twas built up a little too much. It is a very average beer. Never-the-less...I am very happy to have had it. Pours pale gold and cloudy. Aroma is faint and flat - a touch of soy. Flavor is in the same neighborhood. Straw, fruity and mildly malty. Drinks easy.

Very drinkable, but less complex in character than the New Glarus Fat Squirrel. Some fruit -- perhaps a bit of apple cider -- and malt flavors, but pretty light. Aroma’s a little weak.

Bottled sample. Pale yellow in colour with strong carbonation and a bit of haze. Aromas are of soft grainy malts, red apple, and a bit of canned corn. More light adjuncty grain notes in the mouth, along with a bit of sweet cherry pit, and mild lemony citrus and herbal spice. Light bodied and quick finishing. A bit of a throwback beer in terms of personality, and stylistically pretty spot on.

Bottle, pours clear gold with a lacy white head. Sweet cotton candy and grass aroma and taste. Light body, light carbonation. You can’t expect to hit a home run every time.

Wow, this six pack is going to be tough to finish. Pours a pale straw color. Aroma of canned corn and metal. Taste is grainy but one dimensional. Finish is smooth. Not bad, if you’re ever in a pinch, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
