Some malt in this beer, a little bit acidic. Proper orange color, moderate carbonation. Lots of bread and very dry malt. An ok Oktoberfest.

draft at the Fort Wayne GC brewpub - Pours very hazy gold with a two finger lingering head. It smells of yeasty malt and some light citrus. The flavor is sweet wheat malt with a touch of citrus and spice. This light bodied beer finishes mildly dry finish. It’s a fairly average brew that’s alright for the summer. Though it’s a little boring that for their seasonal tap, Granite City followed a hefeweizen with a wit.

draft at Fort Wayne brewpub - Pours hazy yellow with a one finger white head. It has a light citrus accented yeast aroma. The flavor is sweet and a little fruity. It’s light bodied and goes down very easiliy. This one is alright for a summer quaff. Like the other GC beers I’ve had, there’s just nothing remarkable about it.

Growler from KC Speedway location. Clear brown color with a nice head that fades into a halo lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet, lightly bark/earthy, and clean maltiness. Taste is easy with clean faint dark bread maltiness and a lightly sweetened aftertaste and a short light bitterness. Easy drinking nice, but not really special or distinct.

draft - Pours golden with a one finger white head. The aroma is light malt and a little citrus hops. The flavor is pretty light with mild hops and sweet caramel malt. When it warms up enough, it ends up being pretty decent though still somewhat too thin.

tap - Wickster nailed this one already. It’s a mix of a poor beer and a mediocre one. The result is of course somewhere in between. The bock definitely carries the flavor as their Northern Light is far too mild to contribute much. This brew is sweet, light bodied, and easily downed. Note: in my experience this beer was not blended by the brewers. The bartender just pulled two tap handles.

tap - Pours amber with a one finger light tan head. It has a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor too is all about the caramel malt. There’s a little bit of hops in there and it’s certainly easy to quaff. Not bad.

Sample from a growler at the Super Terrific Stout Tasting on Feb 16th. Pours nearly black with a thin light brown head that disappears quickly. Minimal lacing is evident. Mild roasted coffee and malt in the nose. Medium, slick body with roasted coffee, malt and chocolate flavors. The finish is fairly thin for a Stout and has a coffee aftertaste plus a hint of hops. Below average overall.

draft - Pours golden with a thin white head. It has a light pale malt aroma and a sweet pale malt flavor with maybe a hint of hops, but just the barest hint. It’s light bodied though not too terribly watery. Finishes clean. I’ve had worse.

draft - Pours amber with a light, malt rich aroma and a one finger head with some lace. It has a sweet caramel malt flavor and just a hint of alcohol in the finish. It’s easy drinking and acceptable, but as others have said there’s nothing memorable here.
