Bottle. Deep yellow color like straw. Not much head. Aroma was watery and slightly skunky. Not much flavor, hoppy and watery. Probably really good lawn mower beer.

Reviewed from notes.
This one was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy orange color with a one finger white foamy head. There is some light lacing that tries to stick to the sides but mainly slides for the most part.
The smell had some cooked vegetal substance I couldn’t quite right place.
The taste was slightly bitter for the sake of being bitter. Light English maltiness pervades into the flavor.
On the palate, this one sits about a light to medium on the body. It shows a decent sessionability.
Overall, this one is your basic pale ale that is slightly borderline to an English pale ale.

Dark amber cilor, huge bubbly head, lots of lacing. Sour yeast, malt, light bitter, metalic finish. Leaves lasting sour taste in your mouth. Mediocre. Drinkable, but there is so many more better choices. Skip it.

Amber with a thick, off-white head. Scent is faint caramel, grass. Taste is lightly bitter, grassy hops. Fairly creamy... Not bad.

This beer is a clear pale yellow-orange color with a thin rocky white head that evaporates quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grain and slight hops. Light to medium body with a grainy malt character and a slight grassy hops note. The finish is metallic with a short astringent aftertaste. Not a good beer.

Bottle to start the memorial day BBQ. This was only $0.99 at whole foods. Pours yellowish and I get some hoppy citrus on the nose. It’s well carbonated and refreshing. U get some sweet fruity flavor and hoppy grapefruit. Not too bad

12oz bottle pours gold with an offwhite head. Aroma is caramel-light malt. Taste is caramel-light malt, some spice hop. Decent training wheels starter.

Clear gold pour that sits under a tall sticky white head. Light malt aroma, very little hops. Light bitterness and light malt. Not bad but not great either. It’s beer.

Bottle from a local Save Mart. Pours very light amber with a foamy near-white head. Aroma seems soapy pine. Near med body with frothy carbonation. Flavors of weak roast caramel and weak hop. Not very offensive, but nothing to get excited about. Glad I got a single!

bottle thanks to beerbill, pours gold white a tall white head. Aroma is strong with citrus hops and grassy malts. Flavor is sweet hay and cereals, ends crisp and clean with little else.
