3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 ounce bottle - $1.49 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Bottled on: 04 23 09.
Appearance: Pours a brilliant, bright yellow body with just under two fingers of white suds.
Smell: Soft, mild nose of light pale malts, herbaceous, spicy hops and just a mere hint of lemon.
Taste: Sweetish, simple maltiness with maybe a slight wheat character to it. A drop of two of lemon juice. The one really lacking component is the purported rye grain. Heck, the spicy hops are providing more spiciness. Finishes dry, vaguely spicy, but nicely crisp.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: Fairly light, easy-drinking, refreshment apropos to parties by the pool or grueling yard work. I’m sorry, Redhook, but when it comes to my refrigerator, Oberon has already booked that summer gig.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
It was a very mellow beer that didn’t seem like it should be in the "summer" category. I feel like it needed something more to it.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Clear golden, small off-white head. Smells bready, a bit spicy, a bit yeasty. Rye is apparent in the flavor, along with some biscuitty malts and a tiny bit of spicy hop at the end. A decently drinkable summer brew.
2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very light, no head, faint citrus aroma and flavor, nothing special here but drinkable on a hot summer day.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A golden summer beer. Some sweetness and rice. A hint of hops to make it refreshing and not too sweet. No spice from rye, balanced and drinkable.
