Bottle @ the pussy palace. Thanks to pepsican for this chinchill courtesy toss. Supposedly explosive but my bottle was just overwhelmingly foamy. Murky strawberry red appearance with no head retention. Aroma is somewhat dull with some red fruit like cherries and strawberries, dust, and light funk. Moderately tart. Low bitterness and sweetness. Cherries, yogurt, lemon, and cheese. Clean finish. Cheese after taste. Pretty damn good.

Bottle @ the pussy palace. Pepsican courtesy toss, thanks pal! Aged a few months in my fridge, served colde. Hazy golden yellow appearance with a thin head. Aroma has lemon, passion fruit, vanilla, Parmesan. Light body. Low sweetness and bitterness. Lightly tart. Strong lactic element with some notes of apples and sweet tart. A bit awkward but not that hard to drink.

On tap at Zombie Burger. Pours a cloudy light grapefruit gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is yogurty with a light grapefruit tartness and a wheat backbone. Flavor starts with light tart fruits that grow in acidicness with yogurt and wheat underlying.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at the Hy Vee near Drake in Des Moines, Iowa. The pour is a slight haze copper golden brown, with a small light tan head. The aroma is caramel malt and grass floral. The taste is sweet caramel malt balanced with grass earth, nicely integrated. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and a floral sweet caramel finish. Nice take on the style.

Draft/Fest. A- Dank, citrus. A- Amber color, clear liquid, huge white head. T- Weed, citrus, grassy. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, abrupt finish. O- If you can’t see where this is going, you should stop reading. This beer must get it’s name because of the huge white head topping this beer. You can’t have a Clinton without a little bit...or in this case, a whole lot of head. Just missing some smooth jazz. And a little disappointed this didn’t come from Arkansas.
