12oz bottle. Golden color, soapy white head. Aroma of is of grassy hops. lots of earthy notes. Flavor is of band-aids. really lacks anything to blow my palate off the hinges. finishes with the flavor of corn husks.

From a 12 ounce bottle - Pours a clear pale yellow with below average carbonation, and almost no lacing. The aroma is dominated adjuncts and some floral hops. First sip is surprisingly tasteless with not a lot of flavor. Some hoppy bitterness is present but on a whole this is not much going on here. A big disappointment.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It had an interesting hazy appearance with lively visible carbonation and a deep or old gold color. The head builds up big, thick and foamy. It has a light creamy tan color with some speckles of brown yeast sediment from the bottle. Smell: The aroma has hints of floral and earthy hops and yeast. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has pleasant light bready malt presence with an earthy yeast character. Also there is a slightly astringent hint of green apple and mild hops that adds a nice balance of bitterness. The hop flavor fades off nicely into the semi-dry finish. Its carbonation is good and lively with a slick easy drinking texture and light to medium body. Notes: This is a good solid brew.

Draft @ Buffalo brewfest. Palin jane yellow lager pour. Little aroma. Lioght malts, corn, toasted malts. Nothing exceptional but lagers really are
