May 29, 2008 light yellow gold body with a lasting white head. sheetrock nose, it smells a lot like coos to be honest. metallic unpleasant grain taste. i know it’s an ale, but it tastes like a lot of cheap pale lagers. bitterness dominates. slightly floral majorly unpleasant. i’ve been waiting to try this for a while, now i never need to again.

May 22, 2008 Pours a fizzy golden brown with a small white head. Aroma of malt, corn, caramel and hops. Flavor is weak corn, malt and watery but given that this is second runnings of anchor old foghorn you would expect that. That said, this is a good sessionable beer and deserves a try.

May 8, 2008 clear gold, tall fluffy white head held its shape over the rim of the glass proudly. sweet aroma like euro lagers, notes of sweet corn. body is light and clean, flavor is too far to the astringent side of bitter. still, good as a bitter since most bitters i’ve had are lacking in that aspect, but i prefer more character to the hop profile. as i continued to drink it my opinion warmed. this would be a nice session or summer beer.

May 5, 2008 pours amber with lots of carbonation, a dense two finger head sits on top. smells is light caramel and fruit. thin and lightly flavored, a bit of caramel with a good deal of hops in the finish (for the style). the head sticks around forever. nothing too exciting but i am glad that I got to sample a bit of this "history lesson".

May 3, 2008 Pours clear with a light tan color. Thin lacey head. Flavor is somewhat weak but I think thats the intent of the beer. Has a smooth taste.

May 2, 2008 Apperance: Pours a clear, light coppery body with a foamy, white head.
Smell: Doughy barley aroma with a bit of citrus and spice. Starts smelling of broth after awhile, so much so that I order some Chinese delivery!
Taste: Mild malt character, with only some light malted barley and a taste of yeasty dough sweetened with one lonely drop of honey. Spicy, citrusy hop flavor with a medium bitterness. Dry finish is a touch soapy with a lingering bitterness. There’s an astringency that builds up on the palate along the way.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium, somewhat lively carbonation.
Drinkability: You won’t get anything that packs a punch at 3.30%, but it sure has alot of heart, that’s for damn sure.

Apr 18, 2008 It been quite a few years, these notes are quite old. I had always been curious to try this because I have been in past years a big fan of the Old Foghorn. Not what I expected, but then I really had no idea what to expect from this ripassa style beer making. Extremely light, but quite on the malty side, a tad bit of sweetness, biscuity, with some caramel toppings and just a hint of citrus from the hops. I found this to be quite a fun little alternative.
