From old tasting notes. Medium honey gold color. Big creamy white head. Faint tart hop aroma. Light sour flavor with some hop bitterness. Light dry finish.

Originally rated September 2005. On the label, four medals represent the gold winnings this brew won in the 80’s. Pours a pale yellow, but not as pale as Busch beers. Some golden colour is also found. Decent white head that dissapears quickly, and some lace is there in small patchy quantity. Good aroma of grain malt. Watery mouthfeel, very lightly bodied. The taste is quite light too, with some corn, malt and a touch of hop. Not bad on the first one, but gets disgusting after having 3-4 of them.

I have consumed tap water that was darker than this. Smells like water but with a hint of hop. Some sourish grainy notes, but okay maltiness for the size of beer. There are a few bready and hoppy notes, but it tastes half-finished. Not awful, but needs work.
