Bottle. Pours clear tawny with a spare, fizzy, off-white head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, caramel, nutty), average hops (grass), average yeast (dough) with notes of cola. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness; lightly sweet finish.

Light hazy apricot with no head. Hop nose mixed with some citrus. What it does have on the aroma is fleeting in the palette. Low carbonation as well. Only and okay beer.

Draft: Clear and light amber. Smooth but light body went down fairly easy. Toasty malts with a faint sweetness. Decent balance, but unexciting. Definitely a session beer for the masses.

Draught. Body is light amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, grapefruit). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

i earned my thirst the hard way, toiling up a dusty colorado hillside, sweating enough to irrigate an acre of mojave mangoes. back home after my exertion, and gasping like a fish out of water, i could have drenched that thirst with tap water, but being a major beer geek, i reached for a bomber of local brew-- in this case, a crested butte white buffalo. it was terrifically quenching, owing largely to it’s resemblance to cold water. this beer has some caramelly aspects, mostly in the color, being a shade of golden-orange suitable to caramel corn-- it has visible veins of something i guess to be yeast, so, given the name "white" i was ready to assume it was loosely in the wit style. it isn’t. is "weenie" a style? it’s understated aroma is butterscotch, and dry grassy hops. the head was not disposed to exertion and napped all the while i was taking tastes and notes--and, rather than waking up refreshed, merely lapsed into a coma and died. it quaffs nicely-- with little to either excite approbation or ignite condemnation to the dozing taste buds it glides over. it’s carbonation is mild, it’s body is like water-- only more so. a slight apricot-tort flavor, a touch of yeast and a brief distress signal of bitterness from a lost detatchment of hops. here’s everything you adore in a cold glass of water, plus a cute beer accent and a pleasant buzz.

Hazy pale amber. Small bead. Fruity hop,light malt nose. Light malt flavor with faint hops. Rather bland and fizzy
