Commercial Description:
A bronze medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival in 2000, this ale was the Official Beer of the Baltimore Bicentennial in 1997. Well rounded and complex, with a deep golden color, this is an American style ale with a distinct fruity pallet and floral, spicy hop aromas.

Clear apple juice body with medium light-tan head. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit, some spiciness. Taste is medium sweet, some caramel, non-bitter grapefruit. Finish is mild grapefruit. Light, watery body -- nice lawmower beer.

Pours a clear pale golden with a thin, lightly-lacing white head. Very subtle, lightly hoppy with a touch of crystal malt in the aroma. Body is very mild, drinkable and smooth with good balance, but not much going on flavor-wise.

Crystal clear, deep golden ale with some floaties. Not enough to haze the beer, but enough to wonder "what the heck are these large floaties doing in my glass... should I wash this thing? Medium-sized, frothy, off-white head. Good retention and spotty lacework. Good, malty aroma and flavor. Notes of orange blossom honey in the nose and flavor. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, incomplete finish. No closure. I need closure, damn it!

Clear gold color with a rapidly collapsing white head, this has some nice, juicy fruit in the aroma along with some floral hopping. Light caramel tastes and some light, peppery spices are present in this light-bodied drink. I like the bitter hop finish... odd for the style, but refreshing just the same.
