Commercial Description:
Road trips are carefree adventures that usually take unexpected twists, like when we created this beer. It started out as a Pilsner recipe, but halfway through it blew a tire and Ale yeast was put on as the spare. The result was so good, it never could have been planned!

Golden pour, medium fluffy white head. Aroma isbready, butter, and straw. Flavor is pretty much the same buttery, bready and just stale graininess.. It’s worse than a light bmc.

12oz bottle courtesy of brentfeesh. Zesty pale lemon citrus aroma. Gold body with white head. Odd flavor as this one has mild bitter some zesty soap, some dry lemon citrus. Lot going on but quenched the palate leaves a dry citrus aftertaste. This brew would go good with chicken wings if I had some right now. Thanks Brent.

A blonde with saaz hops. Starts neutral creamy, bitterness is understated and even so is the hops. Mouthfeel is above average and creamy. Its sessionable, its smooth drinking beverage, and it should appeal to lots of people. Creamy cloudy yellow.

A slightly hazed golden our with a hint of orange. A nose of light malt with the presence of adjunts at first. Hints of sweet malt fades to a light fine finishing bitter. A bit foamy at best medium bodied. Not bad at all. A beer that might should have been a little colder than the 50* of the one that I had. Not the presence of wet paper that I usually associate with this style.

12 oz bottle from brentfeesh - thanks! Lightly hazed gold with a white head. Sweet pale malt nose, a touch of grass. Rather grassy flavors, a touch of pepper, light caramel. Mildly dry finish, grass and a touch of grain. Nice.

Bottle. Pours yellow with no head. Smells..... well, bad. Tastes like roasted corn. Hard on the palate. Not enjoyable.

I really cant call this one. Rather strong smell of not sure what on the nose. Goes down pretty smooth with no offensive aftertaste but nothing remarkable. I would recommend you stay away from this one.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a murky yellow. Aroma of citrus and bready yeasts. Flavor is better than when I first tasted this in May of this year at the Charlotte GA-CA-VA-NY-IN-MA meeting with alexanderj and kleyland. Some floral hops with a bitter bite. Crisp finish. Not too terribly bad, but not Sweetwater’s best effort.
