Jul 16, 2009 Draught at the brewery during RBSG09. Light amber with a lasting head. Lightly malty and herbal hop aroma. Bitter flavor with an herbal hoppiness and light, dry malt. Light bodied with high carbonation. Refreshing and decently balanced but pretty unremarkable.

Jul 8, 2009 Ok extra marks for the tradition and that this features so heavily in what is probably my favourite ever series of books. A little stale and watery to the nose, very grainy and grassy. A hard hitting grain in the mouth with a lovely fruity aftertaste. Nothing hoppy here really but the cereals give a nice, if limited, range of flavours. Worth a go.

Jul 4, 2009 Bottle. Clearish dull, dark gold with a creamy off white head. Very light, grainy aroma. Yeasty with a touch of bread and fruit. Very grainy and bready flavor with a touch of hops, sweetness and fruit. A nice tingling bitterness in the finish. An alright beer, but not great flavor.

Jun 26, 2009 Tap at the brewery. Not a favorite. Golden color with a white head. Aroma is malty and grainy with slight hops. Flavor more of the same, light and malty with grains and some slightly metallic hop bitterness on the finish. Palate light and somewhat watery. Pretty run-of-the-mill overall. I’ll take an Old Foghorn instead.

Jun 9, 2009 Light golden/orange pour with a small bubbly white head. Weak aroma of soapy hops, and somewhat sweet bready malt. Flavor follows the aroma with watery soapy hops, and semi-sweet biscuit/bready malt. A bit metallic as well. Palate is fairly thin and mostly watery, although it is fuller than one would expect from such a low abv. Pretty straightforward bitter, but the malt is almost none-existent.

Jun 3, 2009 Cloudy burnt orange in color... Toffee aroma, flavor like a watered down anchor steam... Still pretty good although not extraordinary..
