A golden ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, treacle notes, classic. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, a bit light but nice. Bottle at Nacho Hippo, MYR.

12 oz.bottle with no date code found Pilsner glass A: Very nice looking bright crystal clear medium yellow with an inch of fluffy head atop and bubbles busily rising. S: Malty, grainy smell without most of the skunk others have mentioned. Slight earthy hop note, so maybe that’s it. Not much smell overall but nothing bad. T: Crisp crackery malt taste with again a hit of earthiness. This actually is fairly reminiscent of a euro lager but not in a bad way. I do not taste corn. A little on the watery side but pretty good tasting. M: Light bodied to the point of being a bit watery but nice bubble scrub makes it refreshing and easy drinking. Very clean finishing as expected. O: This beer is overall pretty average but has good points. Nothing bad to report unless you’re sensitive to earthy (skunky) hints. Not worth seeking but I bought this in a gas station and it was an outstanding choice considering the limited options. Points taken for lack of date coding leave my overall rating below average.

On tap at the brewery, pours a murky, deep brown with some fluffy, off white head. Solid nose, nutty, toast, molasses, inviting coffee, a little caramel, a little mocha. Flavor has brown sugar and molasses, malt, toast, nutty coffee grounds, dark chocolate. Full, dry finish. Solid.

On tap at the brewery, pours a clear, caramel brown, with hardly any head. Looks like rootbeer. Smells like... ginger, some sugar too, not much beer happening. Tastes like ginger ale with a splash of cream soda. Watery finish. Miss.

Sampled on tap at the brewpub, pours a clear gold with some creamy, white head. Nose has what you expect, yeasty, mild cracker, mildly gristy, honey, a little vanilla happening. Flavor follows, lightly sweet, lightly yeasty, some lemon, some malt. Medium bodied finish. Decent enough.

Matt B. Hooking me up In his recent SC trip, poured from a 12 oz. bottle. The color is a near clear gold with some lasting head. Aroma is a mix of grain and light grassy type hint.
Lighter in body with a spritzy carbonation level giving a lively feel over my tongue. Flavor is a ceral grain base with some mild citrus hops that lingering slightly after the sip. Malt bill is decent and balance is pretty good the the citrus hops. As it warms it shows that light grassy note. Decent drink.
