Tröegs Scratch 1

Wow. I was expecting a boring beer here, but this was outstanding (especially for this style!). Aroma was fruity hops and pretty strong. Pour was murky light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was very sweet in the front. Sugar and fruit mostly. The hops balance the sweetness, but after the swallow the cheeks are almost numb. Don’t know why but there is a crisp aftertaste that tastes like Juicy Fruit gum. Very nice.

Murky golden-yellow in colour, lingering white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is of light citrus, biscuits, very light sweetness, some bread and grass. The flavour is of biscuits and cookies, light citrus and some floral hops. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes lingering, light hop bitterness.

Plain, basic and light in the flavour and aroma but that said still refreshing.

Pours gold with a large white lingering head. Smells of roses, earth, citrus, some strawberries, some hay and grass. Tastes of sweet citrus, touches of dry malt, some hints of grapefruit and blood oranges. Finishes dry. Very good session beer. I like that so many craft brewers are putting in the time to really attempt to nail down what a good every day beer should be capable of. Well done!

Pours a hazy bright yellow/gold with a nice pure white head, some lace. Aroma is very citrusy, and lemony, has an earthy doughy lager yeast component, yet some fruity esters as well. Flavor is crisp and doughy, good malt backbone with a nice earhty and citrusy flavor- more lemon in the end- cascade, but also reminds me of Sarachi ace, with its lemony character. Finsih is crisp and clean- very refreshing- good morning beer.

Poured a hazed yellow with a white head. Lemony citrus aroma with a sweet malt base. Lemon and toasted malt flavor. Bitter comes in quick and goes for a very long and dry finish. Light to medium bodied.
