Aroma is sweet perfumes, wildflowers and wheat. Taste is wheat with some sweet and slightly spicy candy sugar yeastiness. The floral perfume is also present in the taste. Aftertaste has some mineral to it. Palate is medium to thin, drinkable.

12 oz. bottle from a friend. Best by date is mostly illegible but ends in 09, so that seems like a good sign. Hazy orange pour with a medium white head that quickly disappears. Aroma of citrus, yeast, grass and rubber. Yeast is strong with heavy grassy and earthy notes, along with some citrus. Biscuity, metallic, and what’s that? Peanut butter?. Not unpleasant, but definitely an odd beast.

Tap @ La Comida in Cody, WY. Pours a golden blonde with a small amount of haze. Mostly grassey and wheaty notes with a light maltiness. Flavor is the same. Rather boring, but unobtrusive.

Deep hazy reddish amber coloured body with a large tan head - this one looks nice! Aroma of roasted malt, peanuts, pecans, caramel and a hint of smokiness. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty malt flavours with a heavy dose of nuts, caramel and pit fruits. Aftertaste shows more of the same with bitterness and alcohol around the corner with no complexity in the malt. Overall, a slightly one-sided beer that had the makings of a great beer when seen and smelt. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Goebel Liquors in Wichita, Kansas on 25-March-2008, sampled on 01-August-2008.

Taste is malt/grainy, doughy, grassy/earthy/floral/spicy/lemon (continental) hops, creamy and crisp. Good carbonation. Good session ale vs. the distinct strong (same rating) beer Sam Adams ’07 Imperial Pilsner. Thanks to chesky-SD via Joe-jwc215 for the trade.
