I am getting "dirty" smells - maybe this comes from the hop choice. Or, possibly the enzymes used break down the residual sugars? In either case, this aroma follows through to the pallete. Not very enjoyable

The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

An amber light... hmmm. Overall the aroma and the appearance are entirely like that of Cascade amber. After that, the flavor is incredibly weak and os disappointing. Stick to the normal amber.

On tap. Appearance, aroma and taste much similar to a average pilsner with an exception for a little hint of cascade hop in both aroma and taste. Not bad, but not very interesting either.

Draft at the San Jose brewery. Not a lot here. Medium amber color, very little head. Vacant nose, pine nut leads the attack. Watery and very little carb. No finish or mid palate to speak of...maybe this goes over if it’s served freezing cold?
