bottle from my Pennsylvania connection Rich. a deep golden honey in color with a decent sized, foamy head. aromas of fresh cut grass & lemony citrus. flavors of sweet malt, bread dough & some yeast. a nice thirst quenching beer.

Bottle: Light amber/straw colored with an off-white head. Aroma is light fruit, yeast, bread, grain, malt. Light-medium bodied, moderate-high carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet, showcasing some bready, caramel, and grainy malt, a hint of dough-like yeast, nuts, and a bit of spicy hop notes just in the background. Crisp finish that cleans the palate. I thought this was quite good.

(bottle) Pours honey colored; golden in glass and cloudy. Medium sized frothy white head. Aroma of alcohol, fruit, yeast, grain, and bread (nothing strong). Flavor begins bitter, ends sweet (weak). Smooth palate, but watery. Liked other Smuttynose better.

Mild hoppy aroma with a light orange slightly cloudy pour and off-white head. Nice body and taste with a slightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel was light to medium in body and a little watery. Left a delicate lace on the glass and pleasant aftertaste.

Dark amber, touch of red, caramel, some hops in the nose, flavor is sweet, caramel, some burnt malt, lightly bitter finish, pleasant and drinkable.

cloudy cider color. thick apricot colored head. doesn’t taste like much when its cold but as it warmed, i detected a faint hop cry in the background. it wasn’t bad

Pour a dark orange color, with almost no head. Citrus aroma. Smooth on the palate, slight hint of alcohol. Flavor is sweet and fruity. A solid beer.

Orange-brown pour with a small white head that is well retained. Aroma is fruity with some cookie notes. Flavor is sweet and nutty, with some hops flavor, but not a whole lot of bitterness. A nice lager.
