Pours a straw from a tap, lots of hay in the nose, makes it difficult to drink, works better when I take the hay out. Okay beer.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes to bubble surface. Hay and caramel aromas. Crisp with sweet/sour citrus and hay front to back. Lasting bitter earth finish.

Draught at Galway House, 11/17/16.
Clear, straw-golden. White head immediately fizzles away.
Soft, dusty, lightly herbal hops in the nose with a bit more spiciness picking up on the finish. Some toasted malt character, in a healthy balance with the base malt, gives a baguette character. Clean, no alcohol or flaw.
Light to medium-bodied, with good attenuation, straw, grain and toasted bread malt character balancing herbal/spicy German hops. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a substantial maltiness to it, texture-wise. Kind of fruity. Seems more like an American golden ale with German hops, but at least it’s clean and reasonably drinkable.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Mcaloon’s in N. Andover, MA. Aroma is subtle German yeast and Saaz hops with light spiciness. Appearance is pale yellow with slight haze, trace sparkle (sort of urine-like) and 1/2 finger-width foamy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Taste is light sour and bitter. Palate is light bodied with thin texture and lively carbonation (a bit much) with crisp, dry finish. Overall, this is perfect to have when you are having more than one (like while watching a football game) and is an alternative to macro beers. But let’s face it, its most interesting feature is its name. An extra point or two for that, which will probably be shared by New Englanders, and may be similarly downgraded for the same reason if it is ever released outside of New England. "It is what it is."
