Been awhile since I had a Baird. This might be their most boring one, although the last one I had was too. Third strike and yer out.

Tap at the Watering Hole. Clear gold colour, small white head. Aroma is apples, batter-like sweetness. Slight citrus and bit yeasty. Taste is nice too, fruity apple, slight sweetness. Really reminded me of apple fritters which was a bit strange, but quite pleasant.

Draft at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014 - Red Session. Pours clear yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose holds simple pale bread, dough, hints of apple. Light sweet flavour with notes od dry apple, musty skin, pale bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly drying in the finish, with more musty, aged apples, hints of spices. Tasty enough.

A hazy yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, apples, and hops, leading to a dry finish.

Pours somewhat hazy, pale orange. Some nice white foam initially as well, reducing into a thin layer. Aroma has a bit of malts, some sour notes but nothing much. Taste does have some recognisable apple character but not very juicy nor not very strong. Some hop bitterness and then more apple coming out in the aftertaste. Quite simple, quenches thirst but not too exciting.

On tap at Naka meguro taproom. Hazy gold color with a small white quickly dissipating head. Aromas of cider and apple. Thin bodied with a slightly watery mouthfeel. Sweet and tart on the palate. As it warms up the apple stands out with hints of honey and biscuit present as well. Soft carbonation. Finish is smooth but a little boring....could be dryer.

Pale yellow color with white head. Sweet caramel candied apple in the aroma. Taste is mild apple, caramel, tart. Interesting, very gentle, but really nothing special.
