Bottle from the kind generosity of pepsican. This was a bit of a surprise... a bit closer to a Belgian golden than I thought it would be, though certainly not quite there. This beer seems to have a bit of an identity crisis. For the aroma, go to your pantry, find some Del Monte canned sweet corn, and open it up. Stick your nose in it. Besides a hint of yeast in the beer, sweet corn is exactly what this beer smells like. It’s not entirely unpleasant, but damn, I can’t shake it. Just keep thinking sweet corn. Start to think there’s a bit of lemon or spice--and then the sweet corn hits again. Did I mention this beer tastes and smells like sweet corn? It does. Seriously. p.s.................................... sweet corn.

Thanks to Pepsican for this one. Pours out golden with little to no white head. Aroma is mainly of sweet malts, some grain and spice. Taste is straight forward, sweet malts, some fruit, little yeast and a grainy taste lingering in the background. Drinkable

Bottle. Aroma of lemon, mint, herbalness, grass, hay, wheat, citrus, very interesting. Flavor retains the minty/spicy quality with lots of sweet malt, lots of lemon, lemon juice, lemon candy, some odd grain. Nice tart finish. Again, interesting, and very good.

Bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours a light gold with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, spices, apple, and orange zest. Flavor is similar to aroma, lots of bread and yeast notes, also some melon. Spicy finish and lively carbonation. Quite tasty and drinkable.

bottle from pepsican. pours a clear golden yellow with a pillowy white head. Aromas of grain and some bread...some yeasty notes. Tongue is malty and bready. Good today as it was hot as hell here in S Fla.

Courtesy the Pepsican box purge. Pours a light golden color with a thick fluffy white head. Dough, slight hint of fruit and corn aroma. Slightly bitter, malt taste. A refreshing summer time ale.
