The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Bottle from SpringsLicker. Pours a cloudy light amber color. Decent white head fades and leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is almost pure malt. Caramelly in aroma. LIght in body. Rather strange mix of flavors. Leaves a not entirely pleasant feeling/taste on the palate. I feel like a dog with peanut butter on the roof of my mouth.

Chill hazed gold color, sticky head, nice lacing. Very fruity melon & citrus nose. Not much aroma hops. Tastes a snatch malty with a high acidity level. Finishes a bit watery, light body but refreshing.

Cloudy dark gold with a thick foamy head and stringy lacing. Nose of caramel and soapy hops with hints of floral qualities. Slight touch of bitterness. Mellow malt backing and a nice hopping in the flavor. Bitter mostly with some hints of citrus. Nice creamy palate and a finish of malts and bitter hops.

This beer poured a light orange color with hints of yellow and a slight foamy white head which dissipated quickly. The strange deal about this beer is it had serious sedimenty brownies at the bottom of the bottle so I’m slightly worried it could have been the beginnings of an infection so a re-rate may be in order for the future. The aroma is citrusy and malty with sugar candy and malty goodness. The flavor is light with apricots, sugar candy, sourness, butter, and popcorn being predominant. Somewhat sweet finish. Not sickeningly sweet, but not exactly right if you know what I mean. One dimensional sweetness, fairly heavy carbonation, but overly citrusy in mid-sip which worries me regarding the possibility of an infection.

Cloudy golden beer. White head. Acidic aroma with tones of citrus. Buttery flavour with citrus notes. Tones of apricot and malt. Dry finish.

Bottled, thanks SpringsLicker! Hazy golden, extremely lively. Citric and lightly hoppy. Light bodied with sharp mouthfeel. Fairly biter finish.

This has a huge creamy head on a yellow body. A light sour malt cardboard aroma is off somewhat. The flaovr is sweet, needing support from some hops. Watery finish. Borderline unpleasant.
