Bottled. Golden colour with a mediumsized white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is zesty, some toasted and fruity tones with mild biscuits. Flavour is biscuits, fruity, zesty and some slight grassy ones. More like a golden ale than a mild ale (or even pale mild).

Spurred on by Max's (of Deep Ellum) boast that he had 7 or 8 liters of this the other night, I took it upon myself to outdo him and managed to have, if memory serves correctly, 9 liters of this over the course of the day.
It's a glassy golden-bronze with a fluffy, well-retained white head.
A marvelous, fruity and herbal hop bouquet opens the nose with cracker and biscuit below it providing just enough balance without interfering. Lemon, orange, fresh herb and even a hint of floral and mineral notes all remain bright and light in the nose, very invitingly with no flaw, alcohol or any sort of aggressive edge.
In the mouth it's simply magnificent, true to its name. Much like Guineu Riner and Taras Bulba, it's fantastically flavorful and drinkable, while remaining bright, crisp and yet substantial. No husky malts or astringent hop character. Just substantial cracker and biscuit with fresh herbs, light, flavorful, mild citrus and plentiful mineral-like character from the yeast. Moderate, tight carbonation and high attenuation with no alcohol or flaw. By far my favorite beer they ever put out.

Bottle. Cloudy golden body with a frothy white head. Aroma of toasted grain, citrus, pepper, herbal hops, coriander, orange. Hint of grass. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Spicy hop flavor atop toasted grain (a bit husky) and a lingering bitterness. Extra credit for developing flavors in a low abv beer.

22 oz bottle purchased at Keg Liquors in Clarksville, Indiana. The pour is a clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is hay, a mild spice and herbal yeast. The taste is bright floral spice hop right off balanced along nicely with fresh cereal grain. The palate is light bodied, with a crisp dry mineral finish. Easy drinking beer, nice clean character for a mild.

Bottle at the cabin, NH. Pours clear, rich gold, effervescent with a sturdy, creamy white head. Nose of lightly toasted pale malts, tangerine, straw, mellow biscuits. Light to medium sweet flavor, delicious, with faintly dry citrus, tangerine, grapefruit and orange, subtle dry grass, moderate bitterness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Decently dry grass to finish with some citrusy hops as well, light sweet pale malts. Lovely juicy citrus character throughout. Great balance. Magnifico, indeed.
