12 oz bottle split with bologna. Not a bad brew. Nothing to write home about either. I probably wouldnt try this beer again. No aroma.

Bottle: Dark yellow body. Small, off-white head. Heavy aroma of grain, hay and biscuit. The flavor is lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Some caramel comes through in the taste. Light acidity. Medium body. Average carbonation. Average to good.

Bottle: Golden pour with a strikingly fresh nose of baked bread and cut grass. The body is a bit less striking, with light notes of caramel, hay and bittering hops that are underwhelming to me. A nice session brew none-the-less.

Bottle: Pours a slightly hazy golden with a fading white head. Dried pale malts sit behind a spicy hop nose. Slightly peppery, and hallertau dominated. Fairly creamy carbonation. Very mild bready sweet malt hints upfront, which is nicely balanced by a zesty, slightly peppery hop finish. Solid and sessionable.

Filtered goldish in appearance with almost no head. Aroma is practically nonexistant, but with a bit of urea. Taste is bitter and biscuity with metallic hops. Taste is almost stronger and more bitter on finish, with the slightest hint of diacetyl. $2/12oz

Filtered body is a little darker than a macro brew with a little white head. Smells a little like pee with quite a bit of malt. The flavor is malty, with a bit of grass and grape flavor.

On tap at HDG. Light brown or golden with a medium to thick head if you pour it right. Aroma is sweet and rich grain for the style. Fresh indeed and just a bit too sweet for the style, but I like it.

Pours a thick head with large bubbles, has a reddish amber color, a faint aroma of hops and a decent taste. It’ll hang around on your palate for a few seconds, then leave a very faint taste of beer in your mouth.
