Bottle at home in CT. Pours clear gold with a slight, white foam head. Some tangy citrus in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor, some grassy bitterness, sugary malts and orange and lemon. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Light doughy malt sweetness to finish, some further grassy bitterness, dry lemon peel, subtle tang. So so.

Bottle during Company of Thieves concert. happy to grab a couple rates during a show unfortunately they are Magic Hat. really nice looking label and the beer pours ok. however thats about it. nose is of grass and yeast. tastes mostly of yeast, malt, grass, light lemon, and dandelion. light bitter but its watery and could do with a bunch more taste

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is floral and fruity with some biscuity malt. Flavor is light malt with some grassyness and a bit of honey. FInish is clean and does not leave much after the swallow. It a decent overall low alcohol beer.

Bottle. Pours with a massive white head and a clear yellow hued body. Good lace. Aromas are biscuity, bready and floral malt with notes of honey, light acidity, flowery, lightly minty and earthy hops. Mild esters, lemon. Flavors are very herbal and tea like. Bready malts, marmalade, chamomile. Low acidity, cornbread. Medium low bitterness. Slightly chalky feeling. Soft carbonation. Minty hop. Very tea like overall.

smells like a noble hop green bottle lager. look is interesting. has lots of floaties in there. taste initially is a little bitter, but yes it is that dandelion kind of bitter. Yes, a little interesting and but not quite as unique as I thought it would be. Not sure if there is any sourness in there as stated in the descriptions.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy bright golden color with lots of tiny floaters and a medium sized foamy orange white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy and a bit floral with notes of honey and chamomile. The flavor was way too dry, bitter and acidic with light perfume and citrus. Medium length bitter and dry finish with lingering citrus and perfume. Light body. Eh. The aroma had promise but the flavor really failed to deliver.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a hazy gold with about a finger of white head. Aroma of flowery and grassy hops. Taste is light bitter. Flowery and pine hops. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation but not much of a finish. Overall, not bad. Nothing I would seek out, but a decent lawnmower beer.

Pours deep gold into a Sam glass. White head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Pale malt and summer flower aromas. Sharp and slightly tart upfront turning to caramel before the lasting earthy bitter finish.

12 ounce bottle from the summer sampler. Pours a hazy pale orange color with a thin white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of earthy, nutty, floral notes with some caramel. The taste is nutty and earthy with toasted malts and an herbal, almost tart finish. Medium bodied.
