12 oz bottle from Capones. Poured a slightly chill induced haze orange/amber with a slightly large fluffy off white head. Aroma is all malts and loaded with sweetness. Flavor is rather sweet and starts off with some uncooked dough that gives way to cereal grains and a slight touch of spice. For a session beer this one will do just fine but at $3.50 a bottle from a bottle shop that makes this $21.00 a 6er or $84.00 a case, No F’n Way!!!

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle via trade thanks to KnightRider on BA. Pours a hazy golden color with a one-finger white head and very good lacing. Aroma is bread, pale malt, caramel, and some grain. Flavor is similar - bready and slightly grainy with slight caramel and some sugary sweetness. Very mild grassy hops. Like a mix between a zwickel/kellerbier and an oktoberfest really, which is fairly interesting. Palate is medium-light, smooth, and sweet. This is very refreshing and drinkable, not terribly exciting, but underrated.

Dec 10, 2009 The aroma is bread, toasted malts, grass. The appearnace is cloudy dark yellow, fluffy white head. The Flavor is sweeter than expected, like corn, bread, toasted malts. The finish is also sweet, toasted, ok. Not bad, but not great. Definitely not a Kellerbier, except for the fact that this appears to be unfiltered.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle, wow scratch this from the scratch series, probably my least favorite so far, and i’ve been rather diligent in obtaining these releases. Pours an orange body with a copper white head. Dull malty caramel, and then this rush of grain seems to steer this ale to a place i’d rather not venture. Hay, grain, weak earth tones and apple ish wheat notes. Pass.

Nov 21, 2009 12oz bottle from Capone’s, Norristown. After a customary disclaimer about the style (meh), I have to say that Troegs did a pretty good job zazzing this one up. Nose is moderately malty (thankfully not the treacle you often get), with a hint of smoke, and a mostly dry quality that also comes to characterize the flavor of the beer. The mouthfeel is nicely full, and the taste is nicely subdued. Seems a shame that the beer’s virtues (not too heavy or assertive) may also be not so much faults but what keep it from a higher rating. Nice Hallertau tang and grassiness, but still not a fave style.

Nov 19, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours yellow-copper, topped with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is on the sweet side, with caramel at the forefront, and a little floral hop and yeast in the background. Caramel fades into the background in the flavor; yeast is prominent at first, then earthy hops take over and hand out for a long finish. This is ok and fairly easy to drink, but it’s not as impressive as some other scratch beers.
