473 ml can. Pours a clear gold with light head. Pretty much a light malty beverage without much hopping. No offensive, just not much there.

Middling brown body, soft head on top. Very vague malt aroma with nothing else coming through. Flavour is a coppery malt, soft sharp hops, sweet mud. An old style craft beer approach, okay carbonation. Works well as a malty brew but also pretty standard.

On cask at Old Yale, pours an opaque murky orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with lemon upfront, followed by rum, kiwi and citrus. Flavour is a mess of crap that somehow works well, with lots of lemon zest, oranges, and citrus hops. Not getting much rum. A jumble of stuff that works alright.

On tap at Old Yale, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out Belgian yeast upfront, melding with the floral hops nicely, backed with biscuity malt. Flavour is a decent hybrid, with piney, citrus hops and loads of estery Belgian yeast upfront, followed by sweet bready malt. Nice hybrid here - the yeast collaborates well with the hops. Good stuff.

On tap at Old Yale, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted caramel and a hint of resinous hops. Flavour is quite malty, with bready malt, followed by toffee, and resinous hops. Very malty, with ample hops. Good for what it is.

On tap at Old Yale, pours a clear pale golden with a small white had. Nose brings out straw and cereal malts - pretty simple. Flavour is clean and simple, with straw, cereal malt, and a hint of residual sweetness. Easy and clean, but boring.

Decent beer but definitely not an Imperial IPA, moreso an English Pale except for the ABV %

Smells of muddy hops, has good foam on a cloudy gold body. Flavour is soft grains with some sweetness, vague hops in there too. Mouthfeel is full enough. It's decent though simple.
Deanf (9781) reviewed Juicy Peach Tea Radler from Old Yale Brewing 6 years ago
Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7
Smells of nice sweet peaches and a hint of tea, actually a lot like those iced tea drinks from the gas station. Has a soft gold body with some foam on top. Flavour is more iced peach tea, no sign of the alcohol. Mouthfeel is crisp. This is a perfect summer radler.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Smells of soft honey with some vague grain, has okay gold body with some modest foam. Flavour is soft sweetness and nothing else, mouthfeel is full, and oh man this is boring but what the hell I'm thirsty.
