2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
2009 Tap. A run-of-the-mill pale ale. Aroma of hops and yeast. Appears gold and watery with little head. Hops are surprisingly strong in this one, but overall a watery finish. Not great.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Picked up in Paris, TN. Pours a very light copper with about half a finger head. Aroma is of biscuity malts and a slight Amarillo cat pee/fecal smell. Taste is very very light - almost Pilsener-like. There is a distinct Amarillo hop bite with the essence of the hop’s taste...but no real taste. Mostly I get a lot of buiscuity/bready malts coming through. A somewhat un-balanced beer. Interesting to try, but not as good as I had hoped.

Bottle from puggy, thanks!!! Pours a nice gold color with a very scant white head. Aroma isn’t half bad. Some caramel malt as expected with some light citrus hop notes. Flavor starts out pretty nice with ample caramel malts and some light hops, but the finish is a tad bitter and not too pleasant.

On tap and in bottle, at Gaylord Opry Hotel. Pours light copper in colour, with white head. Floral hoppy aroma. Taste is hoppy, with a dry hop finish. Did I mention that it was hoppy? Nice beer, but recommended for a ’session’.

Clear gold pour and a decent off-white head. Subtle citrus aroma. Has a good sweet malt flavor and the bitterness too. Nice smooth texture.

Bottle pours a slightly hazed golden amber with a small offwhite head. Sparse lacing. Aroma is citrusy grapefruit and lemon rind. Light medium body. Taste has a lot of earthy and citrusy hop bitterness. Not much of a malt presence. Nice taste, but good use more malt balance.

1.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Bottle 01.29.09 courtesy of my lovely friend Anna. Pours hazy orangish gold, white head. Aroma is hoppy floral, citrus, and peaty. Flavor is watery soggy peaty hops. Pretty limp. Anna warned me about this, but it was a beer that I haven’t tried so I gave it a chance anyway.
