6.9/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is orange golden with nice lacing as the beer falls down. Aroma of not too much, some resin some pine, perhaps a touch of toasty malt. Taste picks up a bit from the nose, nice balance between toasted mildly sweet malt and resinous pine earthy bitter hops. Palate is medium, bright carbonation, along with the great dry mineral finish that most of these Liquid Bread beers.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is a cloudy yellow greenish, with not much of a head. The aroma is soft wheat, along with a bit of clove yeast - nice soft and delicate nose. Taste is unfiltered, wheat, clove yeast than a decent blast of diacetyl - there is less of it here than in the American Wheat, but still quite detracting. Palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation, with the diacetly artificial sweet finish.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is a murky cloudy brown black, very much a nitro pour. Aroma is light roasty malt, along with pine hops. Clean and fresh nose. Taste is the nose, blending the roasty malt nicely with the pine hops. Palate is a slick nitro mouthfeel. Creamy, easy to drink. Nice one.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is a hazed brown copper, not much of a head. Aroma is a nutty maltiness, along with a nice toasty element which blended cleanly. taste is the roasty nut up front, followed close behind by the malt. Palate is medium bodied, active carbonation with the mineral aftertaste of all of the Liquid Bread beers. Simple, but clean and nice.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is copper golden, clear with more of a head than the other samples. Nice lacing left behind as the glass goes down. Aroma is pleasant cooking sweet caramel, a well rounded nuttiness and a mild hoppiness. Taste is the nose (sweet caramel, nuttiness and hops), combining the flavors in a really fresh and vibrant way. The malt in the flavor is more of the nuttiness of the malt versus the caramel, which I prefer. The hops kick in at the back, and dry the beer our nicely. Palate is light to medium bodied, nice amount of carbonation with the mineral finish. Great amber.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is almost clear (hints of haze) golden, with a smallish white head. Aroma has some light wheat, hint of lemon citrus behind that - faint nose. Taste is grainy wheat, turning to some dirtiness in the middle followed by diacetyl through to the finish. Aftertaste adds some lemon citrus to the diacetyl. Palate is medium, mouth coating, as mentioned aftertaste lingers with the diacetyl.

Approximately 4 oz sample at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Pour is clear gold, light orange with not too much of a head (it is a sampler, after all). Aroma has light mineral, along with a touch of citrus. Taste starts with the grainy malt, transitions quickly to resin hops and a nice earthy element. As it warms, nice amount of mineral along with some citrus pine. Palate is medium bodied with nice active carbonation. Nice.

11th October 2008. GABF. Clear gold beer. Dry palate. Not much flavour here, extraodinary for a rye beer. A poor brew.

Growler shared by csbosox. Pours a dark copper, light brown color. Head is small but has a lightly sticky lacing. Aroma hits you with a mostly burnt caramel aspect, nice. It is kind of like sweet pound cake. Taste is a lightly vegetal (not a bad way) burnt caramel with a sweet yet light aftertaste. It is easy drinking and full of flavor. ON the money for the style.

Growler shared by csbosox. Pour is copper orange cordovan, mostly clear, with a nice 2 inch slightly off white head. Aroma of toasty, bready malt, nuttiness, and some British type hops. The nose is very inviting, soft and gentle. Taste is the malt, toasty; really bready just like the nose. There is a strange sweetness to the ending, which detracts some. Palate is medium, mineral notes in the body, grassy finish - nice and drinkable. Thanks for bringing this back and sharing Chris.
