Noogfest ’08, thanks beerguy101. The body was hazy yellow. The aroma was sweet pancakes and peaches. The taste was sweet pears with some cinnamon spice. A nice fruity finish.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, yellow body with a small, fizzy, white head. Smell: Sweetish, rather lemony aroma with lesser notes of soft pale malts, candi sugar, and rising dough. Taste: Bready pale maltiness with a sweetish honey-like taste. Slight sour yeastiness. Mild, spicy bitterness. Sweet-n-sour finish. Fairly lemony throughout. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness. Drinkability: I’m sold. It’s the lemons that did it.

This pours a clear gold. It’s definitely dry. There are sharp grassy hops in the aroma still. Good.

Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is spicy, coriander, pilsner malts, and a peppery hop finish. Flavor is pilsner malts, honey, grain, spice, and a peppery finish.
