12 oz bottle. Clear gold, smallish lasting white head...faint, light malts and sweet lemon in the aroma...body is metallic-tinged Sprite, with little malt and only a faint touch of dry hops...quite drinkable but that’s about it. Good for a hot day after you’re too drunk to taste much.

can we rename this "dirty penny ale"? i’m on my third, hoping the tinny taste would dull once my sences dulled but alas, it still tastes like i’m sucking on a roll of lincolns.

Yellow gold colour with a fizzy white head. Toasty and grassy aroma. Toasted malt flavours and a faintly fruity finish. Light bodied, a bit fizzy.

This beer is okay, I guess. The dude at the store really talked it up; the brewer was even there this past weekend. Poured real nice - golden yellow, nice white long-lasting head. Smells okay, kinda grassy. The grass clipping smell carried over into the taste, which was kind of tinny.

Yellow golden hue. Small quickly dissipating wihte head. Grainy, malt dominated nose, faint yeast. Starts with pale malt sweetness, light, heavily carbonated body, with citric hops in the finish. Not real exciting, not really worth a revisit.

Bottle: Pours golden yellow with a small white head. Light malt/hop aroma. Crisp flavor-very light. Mild malt sweetness and a touch of hop bitterness. Slight metallic finish. Decent.
