Pale golden-orange with a thin cover of white carbonation. Bready yeasty malt aroma, sweet and subdued butterscotch. Taste is pale malts, has that typical blonde taste that I still can’t describe, corny and skunky but neither in a bad way. Good body and light hop bittering finish.

12 oz bottle. Wasn’t bad. Golden body. Smells of light malts. Definitely not a fav. Tastes bitter and light. Again, liked this one ok.

Poured golden with a smallish head. Nice hoppy bitterness and finished smooth, very drinkable. Good, well balanced beer.

Pour is golden with minimal head. Aroma is of grain and some bitter malt. Flavor is a bit lacking and astringent- grainy with sweeter malt. Very drinkable, but not outstanding.

Pours a pilsner straw gold with evanescent thin head; no lacing. Nose is pretty nice, with a sweet pastry, creamy note and grassy, freshly mown hop character. Not sure you can say this is full-bodied, but then again you can’t say it has a distinctive ’hope’ taste either. Thin palate, but with a decent moderate rooty bitterness to balance the mildly citrusy sweetness. Maybe it’s just that I don’t drink this style often, but I found this to be quite drinkable.

Omnipresent on my trip to Maine in 07, I figured I had to give the damn thing a try. Boy do I regret it! There was absolutely nothing going on with this beer, and it had a truly nasty finish. Regrets, I’ve had a few...

Pours a decent golden brown, with a smoky aroma. Bland and sour flavor, kind of like an IPA, with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Not great but not horrible either.

12 oz. bottle. Golden color with thin, white head. Bready aroma with some smoke. Flavor is really bland. Some malty hints and sweetness, but a weird sour note as well. Finish is muddied, with some bitterness.
