Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy bright yellow color with a large creamy-soapy bright white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was sweetish lemon and moderate phenol. The flavor was tart lemon, dry perfume and a bit of phenol. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky white-peach color with a medium sized foamy white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was tart, chalky and had faint notes of plum, pear, pepper and phenol. The flavor was tart and vaguely fruity with chalk and cracker. Medium length finish. Medium body. Disappointing.

Sample at The Brewzaa. The beer is a clear pale amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruit, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of fruity hops and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
