2$ can from vintage estates. Pour is light orange-ish pale and hazy. Nose is aged IPA hops. First taste is a terribly on style IPA, could even pass for an impy double. Not as mouth coating as many IPA but yes, make no mistake, this is one bitter straight up ass bastard. My girlie maro lager loven taste buds think this stuff is a bleakly brutal, bloodthirsty broken bitter brew that leaves the palate backhanded barren. Also, hardly any carbonation in this bitter hop bombarding bombardier. You know, there's gottah be a gahdzillion IPA out there and the better ones practically all taste the same; briskly belligerent and barbarous babylonian. Whew. IPA lover? Seek this out for yer bucket list. Big long baronial bitter ass bombastic finish. Will someone please get me an ice cold Old German pale lager or an Athenian Alpha for a chaser? Oh well. There, you have it. Man, I think I need to eye pee eh.

Pour fro a 2$ can is slight haze on pale. Pond scum head. Mild sweet lager nose. First taste is surpriingly a little pleasantly tart. I like that. The tartness and the mildly cutting carbonation really make this an enjoyable brew. In the middle, I'm finding this is much better than expected. Very civilized and agreeable. Entertaining gratifying and satisfying. Should of bought a sixer of this. In the ed I find very little if anything wrong with this brew. Good to the last drop. Right up there with the better helles I've tasted like St Lois Summer, Andechs Vollbier, Hoss Neuschwansteiner Das Echte and even Original Lowenbrau!

Sweet peach nose on a beer that pours almost like an orange-ish hefe but with a whiter rocky head. First taste indicates many wheat ale characteristics, sharply bitter, almost astringent. A little bit of that immature brewer attitude comes thru in the middle and remains. Doesn't hide the alky content well. Towards the end, the peach is trying to make things better but its not helping. Not really enjoying this, its way too much like the uncivilized poorly made wheat ales of the domestic varieties. Come now NR, you can be more cultured, developed and refined than this.

Banana, clove, sour milk, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with small short-lasting head. Moderately sweet banana, clove, lemon biscuit, wheat malt, lightly sour lactic acid, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body.

Can drunk on New Year's Eve at Peggy and Pete's farm. Dark orange with light haze, decent fine head. Mandarine citrus nose, light pineapple and mango. Tasty with nice body and a hint of caramel. Some pine and grapefruit, pretty well balanced, bitterness character is not the smoothest but it's quite nice overall.

Draft at Two Cities pizza with work. Gold brew and small head. Nose is crackery and some malt. Tastes the same. Medium crispness. Ok
