Davin (48), Vermont, USA Mar 21, 2008 Not a very appetizing color, kind of a hazy yellow with huge carbonation bubbles. The aroma is grainy and slightly spicy. The flavor is sweet and tastes like it never finished fermenting. I’ll finish the bottle but I wish I didn’t buy it.
elihapa (407), Hawaii, USA Oct 31, 2008 Bottle. Appearance is light yellow, with a dissipating head. Aroma is nondescript, perhaps a bit of grass. Flavor is bread, sugar, grass, and light fruit. Palate remains crisp, but finishes sticky. To be honest, this beer was kind of a mess to me. Crisp, but bready. Sticky, yet with Pilsner-esque grass notes. Just didn’t come together. porterhouse (991), Alna, Maine, USA Oct 11, 2008 (22 oz. bottle from Marcorelle’s) Pours hazy gold/yellow. Interesting that it’s not amber at all. Three rocky fingers of white head. Aroma is sort of honeyish with kind of a hayish organic quality that’s hard to pinpoint. Some piney, sweaty hops were sniffed as well. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth but a bit pebbly. Not really much texture. Patchy, webby lacing. Flavor of weak sweet malt and a touch of a bitter bite on back end. Bland. No caramel, no fruitiness. Kind of a weak offering from Berkshire. thornecb (1228), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Sep 25, 2008 Pours a slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Fluffy white whipped cream head. Biscuit and caramel aromas. Thin to medium and malty from front to back. No hop presence. fata2683 (222), APO, New York, USA Sep 15, 2008 I had this on tap at a pizzeria in the Springfield area visiting family. We enjoyed pitchers of this all night and it paired well with the pizza. Nice and cold, light and crisp. Moderate carbonation and a decent bittering finish. WeeHeavySD (2031), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 12, 2008 Bomber probably a bonus, Pours gold with a bright white head. Nose is light. Taste is light and basically a sub par pale ale.
