12 oz bottle at PBF. Copper to amber color with small head. Sweetish, grainy and buttery aroma. Nutty, papery and stale flavor.

Bottled at PBF, thanks Cletus! Pale amber, almost no head. Fruity cellar aroma. Mid sweet with some diacetyl and red berries. Light body and fruity with spritzy mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Strange and highly unconvincing.

Bottled. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is cardboard, grains, some sulphur and mild yeastyness. Flavour is grass, earth, subber and mild plastic notes.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a crystal clear, pale amber-orange body with a thin, off-white head that leaves a light lacing. Aroma is a moderate caramel with some corn, bread, and fruit. Flavor is a light sweetness with just a touch of earthy bitterness. Darker caramels and a light fruit that go well with the simple flavors. Light bodied, smooth, and very sessionable. Short, corny, earthy caramel aftertaste. Overall, a pretty bland and boring, straightforward beer. Goes down very easily. Definitely a beer to be quaffed in quantity.

Bottled (PBF). Clear amber color, small white head. Diacetyl, barnyard and paper in the nose. Zesty carbonation. Caramel, diacetyl, light hops. Poor showing.

(Bottled) Hazy amber, small head. Sour, vegetably aroma. Flavor is also sour-lemony with diacetyl and no hops. Light body, soft carbonation. Pretty bad.
