2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle: Hazy dull straw, moderate frothy white head, fairly nice lacing, extremely lively carbonation. Pale straw nose, slight wheaty aspect, but also a slight touch of overcooked vegetable. Vegetal start, a bit thicker than your average blonde, moreso like a pale wheat beer. Soft vegetable aspect, slightly dry and tart. Body and mouthfeel are average, but it does feel a bit thicker than other Blonde/Golden Ales. Finishes somewhat clean, but a musty wheat and overcooked vegetable linger. Tiz okay I spoze, but not as crisp or sharp as others.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle poured a clear gold color with nice head. Aroma was pritty plain with some malty sweetness and a slight corn. The taste was really light with no bitterness and some honey notes in the finish. The light body and low alcohol make for a very easy drinking beer, almost just water.

Thanks to hopdog for a hitchhiker. Light blond colour with some honey mixed cloudiness and a good sized head. Malty sweet aroma. Easy drinking pale ale with unpasteurized honey and more on the sweet than the bitter

1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Bottle: Pours to a clear pale amber colored body with a medium eggshell colored head that quickly fades. The aroma shows clear DMS and possibly diacetyl problems, celery, vegitable, light fruit. Taste is DMS, celery, vegitable, powdered sugar, cabbage, pale grains, and hints of lemon. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. This is one I’ll make the effort to re-rate, but this one is clearly infected.

Dark gold with a small head. Slightly peppery aroma. Bland flavor. Dull. Could be better if they dried it out a bit and made it a bit livelier on the palate.
