Commercial Description:
A Kolsh beer style, crystal clear and golden with tiny bubbles. This beer stands out in a tall cold glass. Medium/light body with a wheat malt fraction, Shoal Draft possesses a faint floral aroma that rises from the glass. A slice of lemon enhances the citrus notes of this fine premium beer.

Clear, lightly red-tinged golden, not really attractive in the glass with not much head, aroma of canned food and something like potato chips, weird celery hop aromas, hmm, this is also a crazy beer from Indian River but this one fails in my opinion

light gold with a malty aroma. The taste is of malt with a mild hop. This one is very malty going down with just enough hops added to keep it from being too sweet.

Pours a clear darker hue of gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is of sweet malts and some grassy hops. Taste is light with some toasted malt, sweet malts and a slight bitterness on the finish. Drinkable

12 oz. bottle. Pours a mostly clear orange gold with a thin linen white head that faded to a thin film after the first sip and left a couple of dots of lace. The smell (notice I call it smell and not aroma) of this beer is very reminiscent of dirty socks. Really sweaty ones. Socks that have been laying around in a damp place for a week or so festering. A warm damp place. The flavor is a bit better than the aroma, and I can pick up some malt, but that damned smell is too overpowering. Some light bitterness at the finish, but I honestly swallowed quickly to get this stuff down. And now, I am walking over to the sink . . .

Clear gold, thin white head. Honey and toasted malt aroma with some noble hops. Full bodied, clean. lightly sweet and malty. Tangy with a bit of hop flavor. Clean finish with some lingering spicy hops on the tongue. Not bad.
