Gold with a white head. Hop and leathery yeast aroma with some buttery malt. A slightly sour taste is sharpened with a hoppy finish. Not bad.

Aug 22, 2008 Bottle at GBBF 08 as Celebration. Gold, thin white head. Bready lager. It’s got some yeast character in mouth, supposed to be bottle conditioned. Actually, once the carbonation dies down, it’s good. Nice hop sting on finish.
