This beer is even natrually carbonated, 100% bottle fermented means you can expect a flavor celebration to dance cleanly across your palate. Raise your glass and toast to Wisconsin’s common sense Revolution.

It’s a light amber liquid with a dissipating white head that leaves moderate lacing. An odd grassiness in the smell and taste. The malt isn’t particularly clean. A bit bland with some odd hop flavors. Could be more refreshing. Not terrible, but this beer hasn’t won me over to the possibilities of organic beer.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a small white head. Has a sweetish malty grainy hoppy aroma. Sweetish malty flavor with some weak hoppy hints. Has a sweetish malty hoppy finish.

Very light on the hops for a pale ale. This is more of a cream ale or blond ale. Some yeast, cloudy yellow. Lightly hopped and some malt. Drinkable enough, if very simple. It falls short of the standard New Glarus has set with other products.

Bottle. Medium amber body with a small and quickly diminishing off-white head. The aroma is lightly sweet with hints of toasted grain and bread and grass. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Way too timid for an APA (no assertive hop profile in either the aroma or flavor), but very tasty as a golden/blond. Styles aside, easy drinking.

12oz bottle. Thick orange-brown color with a nice soapy head. Sugary orange chocolate aroma. Sweet medium dark malts collide with the solid bitterness which has a nice citrus tanginess in the finsh. Very clean and fresh, capturing some quality malt notes that arent so far off from a Brown Ale. Smooth and creamy, full of flavor with exceptional balance. Well done.

1300th rating. 12 ounce bottle brought back from a friend. Pours a hazy orange color with miniscule particles evident in the beer. Large head with average head retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is bready, slightly grassy with some subtle corny notes. Taste is sweet caramel with lots of bready and leafy hops. Medium bodied.

Nice crisp beer. Malty flavor with some sweetness. Tastes a lot like the New Glarus Totally Naked. Good drinking beer, though nothing all that special.

Courtesy of Gillard. Pours gold with thin bright white head. The aroma has notes of malts sweetness, floral hops, spice like hops and some malt graininess. The taste has notes of floral to spice hops hitting first followed quickly by grainy malts, sugar sweet malts and a tinge of lemon. It finishes with sweet malts and floral hops. It has none of the flavor flaws I constantly find in organic beers.

Light to medium orange body, thin clumping buff head. Bready, floral nose. Light, sweet body, sugary, with clover honey, floral hops, and light breads. I picked up a touch of alcohol, too. Slightly artificial-tasting. Serviceable and easy to drink.
