Brewed On Premesis

Clear, golden and headless. I sent this back because it tasted like bleach and I thought it was the glass. No... customers have been complaining about this one... it’s the beer!!!! A responsible brewer would kill the batch rather than serve it out, but who am I to comment? Also held a hint of nuts and slight grains. Bleachy flavor. A real palate cleanser (or maybe a kitchen cleanser?) I would re-rate this at another time, but I’m pissed that they both served this to me and charged me for it if they knew it was off. Irresponsible.

not a whole lot here. this seems to be an attempt to please the crowds at this brewpub. i must say that it is probably the most macro friendly brew pub i have ever been to. they have bud and bud light on tap for some reason??? but this would be an excellent substitute for a light beer drinker, but not really recommmended for a craft beer enthusiast.

This poured a straw-yellow color with a modest head. The aroma is sweet and fruity. It’s a watery drink, not much flavor but some sweet malts. I really didn’t detect much in the way of hops.
