Commercial Description:
UFO experts claim that this element combined with another element make UFOs fly. A true American style beer made with lager yeast fermented at warmer ale temperatures gives this beer a slight fruity character yet remains crisp and refreshing. What kind of beer is it? It depends on whom you ask. Some will call it a West Coast lager, some a California Common and other still will say amber hybrid. We hopped this beer with four different west coast varieties of hops, Northern Brewer, Cluster, Simcoe and Mt. Hood.

Bottled - tasted blind. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel as well as light notes of phenol and something burnt. The flavor is sweet malty and rather spicy - lemongrass and black peber, leading to a dry spicy finish.

#12 Bottle [Sk8viking great American blind tasting] Large creamy off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Light cloudy copper golden color. Aroma of mild sour notes, fruit, spice. Over the palate came pepper, fruit, caramel and grain like notes. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Moderated sweet flavor with mild bitterness and sourness. Light spicy sweet finish. 5 / 3 / 5 / 3 / 10 = 2.6

A recent addition to the Ohio beer network I was looking forward to trying one of the Flat Earth releases. Three are currently available with hopefully more on the way. This brewery is now on the agenda for the Great Taste of the Midwest if they show up again.

Aroma / Appearance - The carbonated one finger pure white head settled above an amber hued body. Wheat, white wine and canned pears formed a combination that was more complex than I was expecting at first.

Flavor / Palate - The first sip combined sun tea and molasses. Next came brown sugar. More full bodied than expected this was a nice find and a new addition to the Ohio beer scene. The bitter finish left enough of a mark that I would try this on tap if I ever found it available. I wish more lighter styles were this good.

Courtesy of ’who brought this beer?’. Pours copper with a bit of haze and thin off white head. The aroma is sweet with date sugariness, sugary crystal malts, a bit of caramel and faint cherry. The taste attacks you with carbonation bringing in some ‘off the mark’ tartness along with lemon too. Soon after a caramel and date note both rise up to add a sweet fruity sensation.

Bottle, courtesy still def. Pours a clear brownish copper color, with a giant foamy white head and huge lacing. Some bitter hops in the nose, caramel, toffee, butterscotch. Somewhat subdued, though. Flavor has a lot of malts, sweet caramel, butterscotch, brown sugar, some spices. Nice. Mouthfeel is great, carbonated and filling, very enjoyable.

Pours copper with a thin pinkish head. Smells of roses, some caramel, some citrus. Tastes sweet and malty with some decent biscuity touches on the finish.
