3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at HDG. Pale hazy golden brew with a thick sticky head. Nice sweet pale malt, fresh and bready with soft honey and light herbs. A bit of straw/hay character. Quite clean and crisp. I like this and I think it’s underrated... or it doesn’t hold up in bottles well.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Light color with thin white head. Aroma is of banana and spices. Tastes like slightly concentrated macrobeer. I wish someone had warned me about how awful this beer is. $5/22oz
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Gold, light head and light lacing. Nose of light hops and skunk, some alcohol and fruit, light malts. The flavor is ok, not speaking much, but some light malts are there. The body is decent though. Clean, nice, respectable bock. Thanks Nate.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
I got this last bottle yesterday. A little out of season. That probably would explain the slight skunk aroma. Overall, very good flavor. Clean, crisp, finishes very nice.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
[431-20070721] 1pt6floz (w/ jerc). Light mouldy earth and bready yeast aroma with notes of nail polish/acetone and fruit. Clear, amber orange body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Same earthy bread flavour, like it was soaked in mud. Medium body is fairly smooth. Not too riotous but a strange mix nonetheless.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Appearance: Pours a clear, light copper body with a thin, white head.
Smell: Butterscotch combined with wafts of medicinal alcohol.
Taste: Sweet and corny, with a bit of bready malts and butterscotch. Faint fruitiness. Drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Slick mouthfeel.
Drinkability: I could say it’s neither the most exciting beer I have ever faced nor is it really a beer I’d return to, but why interfere with the PBC? Live and let live, I say.
2.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poured a slightly murky deep yellow with a thin, quick fading head. Aroma is very malty, slightly yeasty with hints of sweet fruit, mostly banana. Flavor is almost all german malt with only hints of anything else, hay and grass if you search. Finish is watery, no heat or alcohol. This beer was drinkable, not even close to a drain pour, but not unlike alot of beers you get from the big brewing macros.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Golden yellow body with small off white head that fades. Dry grainy aroma at first, sweet malty yeast character has an oddness to it. Very light acetone like note that I might not have identified if Mabel had not commented. Flavour is very similar to the aroma with the same odd yeasty character and sweet malty base, with a very light bitterness in the finish. Medium palate suffers from a seeming lack of carbonation. Meh. Just not doing much for me.
