On-tap at the restaurant in the Reno Airport. Pours golden with a smallish white head that leaves lots of lace. Smells hoppy and metallic, slightly bitter. Tastes pretty clean and hoppy. Bitter and a bit grassy with a bit of caramel sweetness. Medium to thin body with decent carbonation. If you’re in a fix for some hop flavor this is an acceptable go to brew.

Mar 31, 2008 Tap. Copper with almost no head. Little aroma, little flavor, underwhelming.

Sep 4, 2007 On-Tap at the Eldorado Brewery Hotel Reno, NV Pours out a clear light gold topped with a thin white head. A nice hop aroma on this one. A much unexpected full body. Pretty good.

May 25, 2007 Given the bottom-barrel expectations with which I approached this beer in the Reno airport (mainly to pick up the Nevada tick, I confess), I was actually pleasantly surprised by this beer. Malty nose, actual detectable hops in the flavor, plenty of caramel, and (mirabile dictu) not even overcarbonated.
One could do a lot worse in an airport bar.
