Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a golden yellow body gave a small one finger white fizzy head. Minimal lacing was left with some rings around the glass. Fast rising carbonation was seen.
The smell was basicly hops and malts, nothing special and nothing that stood out as amazing.
The was pretty much the same.
The palate was about a light to medium with moderate carbonation felt.
Overall, this is a mediocre beer. Nothing stood out to say I need to have this again immediately.

Bottle. Light sour barley malt and metallic aroma. Golden yellow with large head. Mildly sweet malt and and hay aroma. Light body. Bland - barely more flavor than the average macro pale lager and most of that is metallic.

Bottle. LIght, slightly sweet barley malt and soapy aroma. Clear copper with a large off-white head. Barley malt and light grassy flavor. Light body, moderate carbonation. Not great, not bad, would be acceptable for the lawn mower.

This was a souvenir from my student’s trip to the US ^_^ A nice amber ale that was was dark like an ale but light & crisp like a lager, It is really drinkable & lightly spiced. It would make a nice session beer.

Bottle on Amtrak 354 between Chicago and New Buffalo - 03/11/12. Pours light amber with a big frothy white head. Carbonation evident. Nose of malt, barley, grain and a hint of fruit - pretty muted. Taste follows nose - nothing else to add to the very basic components of this beer. Medium bodied with light spritzy carbontaion. High on the blandometer.

12 oz twist off bottle purchased as part of a mystery six pack from Andy’s in Rochester, Minnesota. SEP2412 printed on bottle neck. The pour is a light clear golden, with a fizzy one inch light tan head that falls loosely and quickly. The aroma is metallic sweet malt, bit of a grainy corn, and grass. The taste is the sharp malt metallic sweetness, followed by a general graininess - it is a bit cleaner tasting then the nose suggested. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation, and a thin verging on watery finish. Easy enough to drink.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear light amber with about a finger of white head. Aroma of skunky grassy hops, light caramel and grain. Taste is light bitter. Grassy hops and caramel. Light bodied with a slick texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not that bad. I’ve had worse.

A reddish amber lager with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet musty caramel, with light vinous notes. In mouth, a smooth nutty malt with light roasted notes, grassy hops, a bit oxidized, but decent.
