From tap at Yards, Pasadena. Pours clear and orange with a lacing white head. Light butterish aroma. Mild spiced and bitter flavour with a distinct butterish base flavour. Ends dry and solid diacetyl. Not good. They got 100 taps going - obviously too many to check daily for quality :(

Draft at Yard House, Pasadena. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of citrus as well as a light skunkyness as if too little malt has been used. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of butter and again a light skunkyness, leading to a dry finish with notes of both straw and the skunky note.

On draft from a buddies keg-o-rator. Clear golden in color, head was very foamy and off white. Nose of spice, banana, and some citrus hops.

On tap at Yard House, poured a clear gold, smallish white head that disappeared quickly, lace formed a velum like sheet. Nose sweet malt, crisp and clean. Start was sweet with malt, slight hop bite at back. Top light to moderate in feel. Finish had a biting acidity, the hops apropos to the style, dry lingering aftertaste, refreshing, but unremarkable.

No real aroma to speak of except a slight diacetyl/butterscotch. Pale yellow gold with a small velvey head. I taste some butterscotch, some corn, some nice sweet malt, and some mild crispness. Pretty thirst quenching and pretty easy to pound. It is funny because every Bayhawk beer I have ever had has smelt and mildly tasted of diacetyl. Perhaps this is their secret to making mildly pleasant beers?
