Jul 26, 2004 Tap at brewery. Clear golden with a firm white head. Earthy garden aroma. Medium bitterness (surprising given the lack of hops). Very organic squash flavor. Medium bodied. Nice beer. Much better than I would have guessed.

Jul 22, 2004 Tap at brewery: Golden and sudsy. Light-bodied, but it had a surprisingly rich texture ... somewhat starchy. If I wasn’t told that there was squash in this beer, I would’ve never known it. But being told, I did detect the slightest vegetable/earthy flavor. Tannins from the squash provided a very hop-like bitterness in a hopless beer. Again, if I wasn’t told otherwise, I truly would’ve thought this beer had a slight addition of bittering hops. Very drinkable beer. Sprints is really a master brewer.

Jul 20, 2004 Tap at brewery. Orange, slightly thick and foamy head. RIch garden aroma; unlike most of the others I actually did get some squash and zucchini here. Very interesting and surprisingly nicely bitter for something with no hops! Crisp, mellow, ingenious, and creative. Nicely done.

Jul 17, 2004 Pours and looks like a macro lager/pilsener. I didn’t get much aroma of squash. It’s tangy, highly carbonated & quite drinkable.

Jul 17, 2004 A gruet sampled at RBSG at the brewery. Aromas of ripe summer squash and light malts. Very mild and drinkable. Nicely balanced. Worth trying.

Jun 23, 2004 Had on tap at Higgins in Portland after several other beers that night. Orangey color, unique aroma. The squash is definitely present, but not overpoweringly weird. A unique, interesting beer, definitely worth trying.

Jun 10, 2004 On tap at the Hair of the Dog brewery. For an organic brew this was quite amazing. The squash flavor, which seemed a repulsive idea to me at first, was very pleasing and subtle. Aroma had a nice spice to it which slightly carried through on the taste, making an almost belgian feel to it.

Feb 27, 2004 On tap at Redbones. Pours a yellow/ orange hazy color. A bit of yeast in the aroma, malt and spice. I detected some kind of vegetable flavor but wouldn't have guessed squash. This has a Belgian feel, sweet almost like a tripel. Drinkable and good but not all that interesting.
