Bottle. Pours a pale orange color, not of an amber but more of a pale ale. Slightly hoppy but not overly so. Finish has a hint of sweetness.

First run in with a trader joe’s beer. It was an ok, not great, first encounter. The lack of any hops was a little disappointing. It still had a thick, full bodied, malty consistency though. Reminded me in terms of consistency and mouthfeel to a belgian strong golden. Lacked those spices and citrusy notes though.

Pours a transparent bright golden with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of slightly sweet caramel malt with a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts fairly full and malty sweet with a touch of DMS and some earthiness toward an overly-bitter, dry finish. Not very true to style, and has a strange balance to it.

Poured a crystal clear gold with a thin white head. Doughy aroma with grainy notes. Sweet. Malty and sweet with grainy notes. Semi-dry and mildy bitter finish.

Bottle from Matt. THanks. Pours out a golden orange color without much of a head at all. Smell is fruity and sweet. Taste is fruity and sweet. Not much alcohol detected, fair level of carbonation. Much like my review of this beer, it sucked.
