    Pours a clean light-amber colour with a nice frothy-creamy mild-beige head, good retention and lots of lacing all-around. Cereal grain nose with some rye-like notes, apples, hints of caramel and other fruity malts. The taste is more like fruity malts and some hops. Eventually, some grass and light burnt malts are felt in the aromas. Gets a little hazy at last pour. An alright ale, but lacking some balance.

    The beer pours a translucent light copper colour with a creamy light tan coloured head and plenty of effervescence. The aroma is caramel, floral hops, and some yeasty notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is metallic grains, some caramel sweetness, and and an acidic finish.

    Pours a fairly large foamy white head and has a golden amber appearance. Lacing is ok. Aromas are somewhat fruity, has lots of grainy and grassy notes. Flavours are mostly malty and grainy. Also a bit of bready hints. Subtle fruit notes. Average carbonation. Good retention. Nothing really stands out with this one. Decent but I’ve enjoyed better from this brewery.

    Jeff! Strangely I had avoided this beer for a long time on the premise that it was going to suck. Not great though, but is had a great seriously gree, hay like hop/malt impy pilsner type profile going on that was so much more than i expected. Given to me for free at earls on my once a decade visit, surprised! Hay, barnyard, dry grassland, sage, cactus water, but pretty full mouthfeel. much much better than expected.

    Clear dark gold ¼” cap with good retention lots of bubble columns are floating up from bottom of my glass, looks fairly standard but maybe slightly above average. Flowery hops, hay like malts and a dark bitterness fills the nose in this powerful aroma, also seem to be hitting some citrus notes. And there is this smell that seems like it would be unpleasant but I like what I swear smells exactly like rain soaked hay bales. Dark malty taste that goes down smooth and creamy (insert gay innuendo here) after taste is very clean with a slight hint of Swedish berry. Hops are nice and crisp but don’t have a single trace of bitterness, earthy malts and this very strange out of place banana orange punch flavor. I could drink this on a regular bases but I probably won’t.

    Well, I guess this is pretty much as bad as the first bottle I had. Orangy beer, small white cap with some very nice ropy lacing. The aroma is very weak but there isn't anything too wrong with it aside from that. Light citrus (lemonish), grains, slight caramel. The aroma does start to come around after awhile but at this point I more than likely should have already polished this off and moved on to the next bottle. It becomes more rich in the malt department - there was hints of that early on but I really did not think this would round into anything worthy of sitting on. Good thing I decided to go out side and free climb my house at any spot that looked possible. Very light on flavour, weak grain, slight fruit, some hops own the back end. Watery but not quite empty, very mild overall which ain't all that bad. The after taste is the best part about this beer. Do I even bother finishing this knowing what is up next?
