kramer (1888), sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 28, 2008 Draft pint, at brewery. Pours a hazy amber body with a tight bubbled creamy off-white head that had decent retention. Yikes! the nose is just all diacetyl, somebody filled this keg with liquid slightly burnt buttered popcorn. There’s a touch of yeastiness in the flavor, but it’s really just all buttered popcorn. Stale buttered popcorn. Stale buttered popcorn with lots of kernal husks. The mouthfeel is thinnish with a good bit of fizzy carbonation. No depth here at all. This was just horrid. I drank about 4 ounces just to try and find something decent to say about this and it just wasn’t happening. Yuck. blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA Jun 4, 2008 Draft. Pours hazy orange with an off white head. Caramel, spice, fruity, and roasted aroma. Medium body. Flavor has spices, caramel, banana and butter, followed by a nicely bitter roasted finish. My favorite of the night.
