(Draught) Pours a pale yellow color with little to no head. Not a good tasting ale.

Draft sample at Upstream Old Market. Poured clear golden color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body and soft carbonation. Medium balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Another average beer.

Tap at the brewpub. The body was dark gold with a white head. The aroma was malty with a bit of bread. The taste was slightly bitter bread crust. There was also some potato skins. i actually thought that this was refreshing.

Straw hue with some white fizzy head and lace. Weak aroma with hints of aromatic hops, citrus, toasted malt, grassy. The taste is acidic and slightly bitter, vegetable notes. Almost no finish, again weak. The mouthfeel was thin and watery, clean however. Brewed for the masses, not for beer lovers.

Deep maize color with a thin head and semi-active. Super sweet malt dominates here. Little to no bitterness to counteract it. For the Coors crowd.

On tap at the 1st Annual Liquid Arts Festival held at the Hot Shops, 16th and Nicholas Streets in Omaha, NE. It was a very light beer in color with a white dissipating head. Aroma is of a critical bacteria infection. Taste is of same infection. Normally this is a fatal flaw to a commercial beer; however, this bullshit yuppie brewpub will not be affected by such. At least budweiser never has such bacteria.

GABF 05. Listed as O! Gold at the festival. Pours yellow with a strange bubblegum and banana aroma. Flavor is flat hops, and the watery palate doesn’t do anything to help.
