Sep 18, 2009 05/17/09. 22 oz in shaped pint glass. Clear amber with a thin, lasting off-white head that leaves some lacing. Medium carbonation with large bubbles. Biscuit aroma with some malt sweetness. Watery but fizzy mouthfeel. Flavors of malt, sourdough, and some citrus. Crisp finish with lingering bitter aftertaste. Some complain of a metallic flavor, which I got, but I didn’t find it unpleasant. Plenty of oomph for 3.3%. I’d love to try this alongside its larger brother (Old Foghorn) to see if any similarity can be detected.

Sep 18, 2009 Updated: Oct 21, 2009Beautiful pour with a nice amber color and a thick head. A hoppy aroma with a strangely metallic smell. The flavor has nice bitter and sour elements but is accompanied by the metallic hop flavor that made for an unpleasant aroma.

Sep 18, 2009 Only good feature of this beer is the appearance. Pours translucent amber with rocky white head that is thick and retains well.
Nose has a metallic hop quality, but overall is fairly faint.
Palate has a sour, spent grain flavor that isn’t simply not very good - it’s actually has a bad taste. What are they thinking? And no, the bottle is not defective.
Finish is unpleasantly bitter. Has an unwelcome sulfur component as well.
Couldn’t finish this one. I hope the kitchen drain enjoys it more than I do.

Sep 13, 2009 On tap at Beer Temple. Light amber orange colour, creamy white head. Aroma of malts, light caramel and citric hops. Flavour is light toasted malts, bit of caramel, good floral and light grapefruity bitterness. Lacks a bit of body, but is very refreshing and highly drinkable.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with a thick, foamy white head. Aroma of bready malt, sweat and floral hops. Flavor of bready/cardboardy malt, floral hops. A little bland, but not bad considering the %abv.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of toasted grains, honey, at first I thought maybe some corn, but that either went away or maybe I just got used to it. Flavor malty with hints of caramel but mostly the toasted grains. Has an annoying grainy, astringent character. Light and easy drinking enough to go on with it despite the astringent side, but also not really interesting or any more enjoyable than any number of lighter, better beers.

Sep 3, 2009 While there was a slightlly "watered down" taste to the beer, it still had a nice hop bouquet and bitterness. Not as good as the house pale ale, but nice for a change of pace. Good when you want something a little lighter.
