Also at the Art institute Cafe. Pours a quite cloudy works yellow under a sudsy head. Nice nose of Citra backed by lemon and pine needles. Taste is good for the style: sharp bitterness, lemon and orange citrus, and nice malt and alcohol punch.

Pour is a clear gold with a huge white head. Aroma is a nice pale malt and some clean fermentation. Flavor is more bready malt with a nice crisp bite. Minimal bitterness. There are a lot less flavorful light lagers out there, this one is top tier. I poured 2 cans into a pint glass and it just fit.

Can. Pours a slightly hazy light gold with a big white head of foam. Aromas of lemon, honey, a touch of resin. Nice little IPA.

Pour is a chalky looking gold with a large white head. Aroma is peach and melon. Flavor is likewise. Some peach and melon with almost no bitterness. Not a lot of bells and whistles with this one just an adequate single hop IPA.

Aromas are cereal, citrus, cut grass. Flavors are similar to nose and bittersweet with decent carbonation and body. Good but not great.

Aromas are multi, grassy, dry grain. Flavors are similar to nose and mildly sweet up front. Goodbody and carbonation. Goes to bittersweet and then a lightly bitter finish. Decent.

Pretty good. Aromas are malt, herbs and spices, and a touch floral. Slightly full body with okay carbonation. A bid on the sweet side.
