No aroma. This is a pretty simple session-style beer. Light, but a good fruit to it. Nothing extraordinary, but good.

Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Malty, biscuit and light grass aroma. Light malt and biscuit flavors with earth and mineral notes. Medium-light bodied. Bready/biscuity malt lingers with light earth.

Bottle curtesy of KrausenJockey, pours decent copper color with thin off white head. The nose is bready malt and a touch of hop. The flavor is the same, with more malt than hop. Noce on a 95 degree late Summer day. I didn’t think I’d like it, but was pleasantly surprised.

Mild hop and tea nose. Soft and floral palate with a slight touch of ripe fruit. Strange acidic finish.

From a six pack puirchased at local COOP. After the first bottle I realized I have five more bottles that I would have pawn off on someone else who thinks Budweiser is a good beer. Poured nice attractive gold color but things went downhill from there. Nose kind of moldy, with a faint hop odor and not much else. Mouthfeel was not notable, and flavor was somewhat sweet with a slightly bitter finish that was just plain odd tasting. To be hoiest I had trouble with this one, and just have to say it was not something I would buy again.

Almost grassy aroma for hop, not really citrus. Amber gold color, and the head disappeared rapidly. I can’t even assign anything to the start, but the finish was a spritely hop bitterness. Astringent finish. Damn refreshing. Not much for a hop head, but good. Beats the s--- out of Budweiser.
