12 oz bottle from Country Club Liquors. Nose is caramel with hints of grassy hops and a tiny bit of skunkyness. Dark gold with a small light beige head. Flavor is a bit of bitter with some light caramel. Nothing I would ever go looking for.

Bottle. Cannot comment on appearance since I drank from the bottle. Aroma is grassy, with some grain notes. Taste mimics aroma; grass and grain, slightly sweet with a lightly bitter finish. Watery and unimpressive.

Pour is a clear yellow with a average white head. Aroma is grain and maybe some lemon grass. Flavor is grain, light bitterness and lighter honey. Itβs alright for what it is.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light amber with a creamy/frothy white head. Aroma is citrus and grass over pale malt. Med minus body. Flavor is wheaty with some citrus. Finishes a touch sour (probably the citrus) and lightly bitter. Lawnmower beer.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a soapy and large white head. Aroma of honey, hay and a touch of very light hops - nothing too potent here, these are all very weak smells. Light-bodied; Very mild flavour of hay and grass with a touch of a skunky flavour and some very mild bittering notes that I donβt even really want to call hops. Aftertaste is bland and weak - not showing much at all. Overall, not such a great beer - but not horrible after a hockey game. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle brought to a game by one of my teammates.

Bottle @ home. Clear, orangish brian appearance with a pretty sizable off white head. Light, lemon citrusy, bready, bland pale malty aroma. Lemon citrusy, bready, fairly strong, bland pale malty flavor with a pretty bitter finish. For some reason, I thought this would be better.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA, opened 5/5/11. Pours a clear golden color with a large frothy offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted malts and floral hops. The taste is toasted malts, floral hops, some stone fruits and a caramel finish. Medium bodied. Tasty.
