Draft at goat races. Hazy semi clear yellow colored. Malty lactose aroma. the taste was the same as the aroma with a smooth light sweetness. Rich and full bodied. Pretty Good.

06 Goat Races. Pour was a medium bodied, golden color with a small white foam. Somewhat earthy aroma followed by a little citrus and maybe some honey. Flavor is also a bit earthy with a good bit of honey and some grassy hops in the finish.

On tap at Sly Fox Phoenixville, 2006 goat races, approx. 5 oz, served in a wine glass. Poured a bright golden yellow with a small creamy white head. Aroma is of sweet pale malt, with light alcohol, and a slightly husky graininess aspect. Flavor follows the aroma for the most part, sweet malt, with more of the husky graininess and grassy hops. Mouthfeel was full bodied and slightly sticky with minimal carbonation. Overall, I thought that this one was a little harsh. The alcohol was fairly well hidden though. It really didn’t surprise me that I wasn’t the biggest fan of this one, as I don’t especially care for their Helles Lager to start with.

On tap at the ’06 goat race. Apears a glowing orange gold with a small white cap that slowly fades into a small collar. Tiny bubbles slowly rise to the top. Little spots of lacing are all over the glass. Smell is grassy, earthy, spicey, with notes of dough, honey, and citrus. Taste is of the aromas listed above with a mild hop presence coming through. Mouthfeel is crisp, bubbly on the tongue, and medium bodied.

On tap at the Phoenixville location for the 2006 Goat Races. Pours a translucent golden orange with a smaller white head that left some lacing. Aroma of sweet malty, toffee, prunes, various grains and honey. Flavor was sweet, citrus, grains, honey, light alcohol, cereal, light bitterness from the hops.
