May 20, 2006 Loose bottle from Sam’s Wines, Downers Grove. Definitely the American brewpub style of blond ale. Pours a big rocky head. Yellow body, kind of hazy with lots of floaties. Crisp and kind of lemony, with that bit of honey peeking through. Basic noble hop component. A good beginner’s craft beer. Date notch says it was bottled in October, so it’s held up OK.

May 18, 2006 brewed with honey my ass.Tastes more like they cleaned out a horse barn and substituted the soiled straw for the honey. A truly nasty beer.

May 14, 2006 Aroma is not good. Smells like damp cardboard. Clear, light gold with no carbonation. Maintains a small white head. Light flavor; unfortunately tastes like it smells. Has somewhat of a dry unoffensive finish; otherwise I would have rated it lower.

Apr 11, 2006 Inoffensive. A lightly honey-sweet, some mandarin oranges, dusty hay, spritzy, herbalish finish. Easy drinker.

Mar 28, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Nuffield: Pours a transparent golden blonde with a dense pillowy white head. Lightly sweet malty aroma has some smooth floral attributes. Body starts with a semi-sweet well-carbonated palate with some smooth malty-earthy dryness and a hint of coriander. Nicely-balanced and very drinkable, but not all that interesting.

Mar 21, 2006 Oh . . . hold on . . . just a second . . . what was that? A beer? Oh I thought it was flavored water. The only thing this ale has going for it is that it wasn’t nasty. Really it was pretty bland, maybe a little honey and whea a wateryt, but basically dressed up water.

Feb 27, 2006 Poured a hazy yellow color with effervecent bubbles running up form the bottom. Medium sized white head. The aroma is of apples, cereal, and dusty paper. A little bit of plastic was in there as well. Malty flavor was light and fruity. Semi-dry finish had a fair amoutn of bitterness.

Feb 25, 2006 Found this one bottled in Belvidere, Illinois. Hazy light yellow pour with a thick white head, nose of tart apples and malts, very sweet taste with baked bread and a little caramel. This one was pretty good.
