Beardface (772), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jun 27, 2009 12 oz bottle. Deep yellow pour with a miniscule white head. Aroma wheat, grain, biscuity malt, perhaps a bit of fruit. Flavor is very grainy and biscuity with light bits of fruit. Not awful for the style, but not very enjoyable either. JohnnyJ (1061), Carlsbad, California, USA Jun 26, 2009 Slightly orange gold pour, with white head. Grain, light biscuits, light fruit. and a bit of hops in the finish. Easy drinking, but really boring. scrizzz (986), kirkland, Washington, USA Jun 18, 2009 Gentle gold in the middle, pale yellow on the edges. Tiny head, mostly absent. Sweet light wheaty aroma, i pick up the suggested apricot. Light in intensity, light in roast, but there’s a respectable body and a bit of a swoosh of hops in the finish. And one of the better blondes I’ve had. DigitalMan (82), Idaho, USA Jun 17, 2009 Slightly cloudy yellow orange. Little head. Aroma is muted or a little stale, some hops. Flavor is mostly hops, bitter and tart. Malts are there, but not really great tasting. dwyerpg (2301), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jun 15, 2009 A pretty malty aroma. Flavor is nice though. Some malts, a little graininess. Just okay. Vertical Bacon Strips (581), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jun 10, 2009 Dark apricot in colour (crappy description!) and cloudy with a good ammount of small grainy sediment (not sure if that or the cloudiness should be there considering it wasn’t in the other bottle that was opened). Poured a small ammount of white cap but produced decent ropy lacing. Aroma comes across very fruity with some grapefruit, oranges and an unknown pink candy. Good fresh hops. Taste is nothing new or different. Mild hops, sour tartness, mild malts and some heated spice that sneaks in near the end. Mouthfeel is a bit too light but solid bitterness, good carbonation and a tart smacking dry aftertaste help make it decent enough. Seemed a bit too gassy, but nothing that would make you explode. Decent beer that would be really good while sitting in the sun while avoiding yardwork. Cirrhosis (550), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jun 5, 2009 Hazy burnt orange, spotty patches of bubbles float on the top, this beer looks good. Citrusy hops, and a abundance of peppery spices dominate the smell, caramely malts are detectable but seem to get pushed to the back and aren’t as dominant as I would like them to be. Hoptastic flavor, grape fruit hops are abundant but not over powering, caramel tasting malts make up the body of this brew, it also has a candy like sweetness, clean finish with no after taste. Overall very drinkable and is a high quality brew. KnN (618), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Jun 1, 2009 On tap at Pike Brewery. Nice light refreshing summer beer. Good golden color, some light hop character. Finishes clean. Good lawnmower beer.
