| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 1, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Difficult to find much to say about this - as far as I could tell this is a bog standard brewpub lager designed for BMC drinkers. Maybe slightly better than its commercial counterparts but not a whole lot. I say "as far as I could tell" because there were no sampler trays at this brewpub (with only three beers available there wouldn’t be much point anyway) so I was reduced to a miniscule taster in a plastic cup - I sure wasn’t going to have a whole pint. Inoffensive but uninspiring stuff.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 14, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Pour of clear pale gold, with a rim of white. Light distant stale malt, heavy on the dextrose. Edges of pot roast creep in. Flavor is a bold chewy sugar, with heavy and reeking corn fusels. There’s a light nutty sweetness in the sugar but it gets run over buy a truck full of sweet corn. Palate is mostly cloying.
