From a 12 oz. can. Pours a pale gold with a thick off white head. Doughy aroma. Flavors are biscuits and cream. Crisp finish.

This brew pours a clear golden color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of citrus, malt and faint hops. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, citrus and mild grassy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Can from Tasty Beverage. Really ugly can. No high hopes here. Pint glass pour. Fizzy, yellow, turning almost a bile-ish sort of green. Smell is mild. Cider, yeast, baking powder, faint herbage & unripe fruit of some sort. Taste is crisp, with an immediate hit of powdered sugar & strawberries. Very tart, with big acid. Mildly bitter. Lingering yeasty matcha finish that I do not like. Okay cider base, but the flavor combo is just a bad idea. No one who enjoys cider would do this.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear golden copper color with a full finger of creamy foam that lingers. Light citrusy nose with some pine and crackery malt. Slightly creamy, leafy hop bitterness. Smooth and lemony biscuit malt finish. Really nice pale ale with a lot of flavor and great mouthfeel. --- Beer merged from original tick of Spoaty Oaty on 03 Aug 2018 at 21:20 - Score: 7.
