jjpm74 (3087), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Apr 25, 2008 Pours gold with a large white lingering head. Smells of roses, earth, citrus, some strawberries, some hay and grass. Tastes of sweet citrus, touches of dry malt, some hints of grapefruit and blood oranges. Finishes dry. Very good session beer. I like that so many craft brewers are putting in the time to really attempt to nail down what a good every day beer should be capable of. Well done! rajendra82 (647), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Jun 17, 2007 Obtained in BIF 30 from BA Wren, Tröegs Scratch Beer came in a plain labeled bottle, that indicated a bottling number of 1-2007. When poured, the beer looked clear pale, like a Pilsner, and had a three finger thick head. The aroma was mostly citric hoppy, and was very clean, with none of the diacetyl or sulfur hints common in Pilsner. The taste was a simple mix of sweet pale malt, and citric hops, with hops being the dominant taste. Very light and effervescent on the palette, yet there was enough body and a sour tang to keep from feeling watered down. Very drinkable little number. kkearn (685), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 11, 2007 12oz bottle, thanks to my cousin ggaughan. Golden color, with a thick white head. Nice citric hop aroma. Flavor is well balanced. Crisp, fresh hop flavor supported by sweet malt. long hop finish. Solid version of the style. jason (1509), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 14, 2007 Bottle. Pours a pale golden yellow body with nice head. Aroma is slightyl fruity, grainy, light citrus. Flavor is light and refreshing. Light citrus lingers on the palate with a subtle spice that hits the taste buds first and then backs down. This would make a nice session beer, if only it wasn’t a limited release. jehoey (715), Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 27, 2007 Troegs 10th anniversary:
Aroma is clean malts with a citurs backround. much like the flavor. crisp palate, that showcases the malts and citrus hops of this beer. light-medium body, very nice summertime sipping beer.
