(Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Nearly nonexistent aroma; light butter and grain. Flavor of malt with slightly skunky hops.

on tap-pours an off white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweet light malt, some diacytl, saaz hops. Taste is spice (saaz) hops, sour/diacytl, secondary sweet light malt.

Draft at BRG. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Medium Euro hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium tingly sweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

On tap at Hamilton Place. The body was deep gold with a white head. The aroma was spicy with some bell peppers and bread crust. The taste was rich biscuit with some bell pepper. Spicy finish. Nice and clean.

On tap at Big River – Chattanooga. Poured clear bright yellow with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma was very light with some lighter fruits and honey.. pleasant enough. The flavor had honey and bready notes at the core supporting almost sour bread and odd, tacky vegetal notes.. not very good. Light-bodied with higher carbonation.. sharp and ugly in all the wrong places.

Floral aroma, light yellow, lacey, fresh, crisp, medium bitterness serviceable pils. Saaz hops, a bit grainey, a bit of bitterness

Used as a palate cleanser at Noogfest, and it served it’s purpose well. Clean and crisp, no off or otherwise wrong flavors. Mildly hoppier than I was expecting, I guess.
