Nov 8, 2009 Pours a golden color with a smaller off white colored head. Notes of pears, earthy/catty hops, and dawn dish soap which is not necessarily a bad thing. Medium weight, medium finish. Easy quaffer.

Oct 8, 2009 (Bottled on 08/25/09) This is one of those beers that if you like lager makes you think about the beer that almost is. While this beer is not a world classic it is nonetheless a nice beer. First and foremost it is dry and lightly bitter upfront and the finish is pils malt and moderate spicy hops. Certainly a beer that must be consumed very fresh.

Oct 7, 2009 On tap and GB logo pint served at the Bollingbrook, IL. location. Poured a clear, golden amber with some off white, bubbly foam and thick curtains of lacing. Initially put off by a lightly pungent, acetic nose that seemed to last. The flavor was a full malt body, but the hop bitterness was astringently harsh. I finally gave up after 1/2 a glass. I’ve had a more pleasant experience with this beer in the past but didn’t review it at the time. Future sampling will happen down the road, but for now, I’m a little gun shy.
