Mostly clear with some fine haze and a thin white head. Aroma of corn, grain, rice and apple. Taste is the same. Does have a clean crisp texture and finish.

Sampled with curly at scottyp’s condo. Pours a clear light gold with decent ring of white head. Very sweet vanilla corn with a hint of grassy hops. Not completely aweful.

Clear golden, moderate to small head, some lacing and retention. Aroma actually has hops. Is this really an Indian beer? Oh wait, there’s a huge corn base. Ok, was worried for a sec. Light bodied, quite sweet.

Bottle at beer barons. Pours clear gold, with a white head. Aroma is corn mostly. Flavor was spice hops, a bit of caramel, and heavy on the malt flavorings. It’s ok, nothing great, but not horrible either.Finishes with a hint of hops.

Slightly hazy and pale yellow with a foamy white head. Body was light and watery, with a mildish carbonation. Malts were sweet (sugar water) and shallow. Corn/DMS hung out in the background, which really put a damper on things. Hops were spicy, herbal and grassy (not very exciting or aromatic). Bitterness was mild. It was what it was.

Light noble hop aroma. Brassy gold color with a decent white head. Near medium bodied with fizzy/creamy carbonation. The hops are definitely present, but the malt is just a slight touch caramel. The finish is less than dry, malt tends to dominate. The hops don’t quite balance this. Ok to drink though.
