CharlesDarwin (1413), State College, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 10, 2008 12oz Bottle. Flat hop-leaf and corn aroma. A bit of cereal and corn flakes show through a bit too strongly with some alcohol and yeast products. Pours a hazy peach-gold, with a rim of white. Eek. Flavor is tannic and thin. Lactic malt sugar flavor rises fast and is not enjoyable. Puckery and light sour in sour malt way. Not good. Warm cereal fights through this off character a little bit. But I don’t really find this drinkable. A nip of hop leaf comes through in the finish, but it’s really too late. Thanks for keeping me in limited release Michigan beers Sean! Tmoney99 (3642), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 6, 2007 Draft sample at Schmohz. Poured a clear pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light sweet hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Every brewer needs a light beer. Al_K_Hall (161), West Hartford, Connecticut, USA Aug 6, 2006 On Tap @ Schmohz. Cloudy gold appearances. Has a mild spice aroma, but the flavor was like a lite syrup. Im not sure what the spices were, but there was a mild citrus flavor in there somewhere. mild hop flavor, and very minimal carbonation. It wan’t my favorate so far, but I’d like to try more Schmolz. badnewsbeers (982), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Dec 25, 2004 my least favorite beer from Schmohz Brewing; lemon yellow appearance with little head...aroma is mainly sweet notes with some malts; decent palate; flavor is similar to aroma with lemon notes and sugars Silphium (2029), Lansing, Michigan, USA Dec 23, 2004 Slightly hazy straw-colored body. Somewhat adjuncty aroma (even though I’m not sure any adjuncts went into this) with sweet, slightly metallic malts and earthy hops. Earthy hops contribute to the biscuity, lightly fruity malt flavor. Thin-medium body. A somewhat maligned style, and this was my least favorite beer at the brewery. Good for the uninitiated, I suppose.
