Sold only on draft at the brewery. A wonderful old world style ale. This very light flavored ale is brewed using 50% Maris Otter English malts, Challenger hops and Styrian Golding hops from Slovenia. A refreshing brew for Spring.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Vegetal, grassy, chicken stock aroma. Little head, very clear pour, pale yellow. Grass, pine, planty taste. Biscuit and minerals. Balanced and drinkable. Very good.

pours transparent yellow with a thin head. Citrusy initial flavor and stays the same throughout the finish. Very plain, but enjoyable

Draft at GBBF 2006. A yellow beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet fruity - especially grapefruits. The flavor is sweet malty with a strong fruity note - again grapefruit is very present, leading to a dry bitter end.

On tap at Lost on Main, Chico. Blond in appearance, as expected, not much of a head here, not much lacing either. Flavor is a bit salty followed by a buttery popcorn taste; mostly buttery, not so much the popcorn... Very drinkable but not outstanding.

Draft. Clear piss yellow color with a white head. Slightly fruity aroma, apricots or peaces. Grainy cereal maltiness with a strange out of place bitterness. Lemony and astringent.
