kwoeltje (1207), Manchester, Missouri, USA Jun 17, 2006 (draught at brewpub) medium gold with almost no head but some lace. Very little aroma. Flavor is must/grassy with a sour finish. The brewpub has a lot of taps - perhaps the beers sit too long? Drnk_McDermott (1545), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Nov 4, 2005 Draft. First impression is that it’s going for the fruitiness of an SNPA. It succeeds there partly. A light, iced-tea body under an insubstantial head. Bubble gum and sweet cherry taste from a warm ferment Also a bit sour, though. Pineapple and grassy hops are in evidence, with, me thinks, a touch of Noble in the finish. It’s pretty fair, and brewed on premise. Cornfield (4263), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Oct 30, 2005 Golden without much of a head, this had an odd toffee and nut aroma with a drop of orange zest. It tastes of light malt and nuts and only had a trace of bitterness in the finish. Not much of an APA.

Golden/amber, slightly lighter in color than their IPA. Soapy aroma with grainy malts and not as many hops as I was hoping for. Flavor was decidedly malted, finishing with a soapy, nutty sourness. Very thin and uneventful. Not a good APA.
