Brown with a medium sized foamy tan head that left decent lacing. Toasty and a bit roasty with a bread crust note. Medium finish and body.

Pour is a clear tan with a large white head. Aroma is some earthy malt and some peanut butter. Flavor is more chewy earthy and roasted malt more peanut butter on the finish. I don't think that is what they were going for but that's what I'm picking up. Still a decent heavily malted English strong ale.

Pour iss a clear gold with a large fizzy white head. Lots of floaty stuff in there. Aroma is pale lager malt a little sulfur. Flavor is pretty much the same. Uber light body, pale malt lager yeast. It's beer flavored beer.

Can from chalet premier, nice place. I drank this right out of the can so I say its pale yeller, just not sure if its cloudy er not. But now I see on the label it says its slightly more than a pale yellah color. It has this cool picture of a color graphic, I'll post it over in what ya drinken in the forums, pretty funny. Smell in the can is slightly off beer. First taste is noticeably sharp. Yes, some of that rude sharpness I used to get over at the dented keg, when they just opened up; some astringent unpleasant bite that is. Perhaps it needs some work in the refining process? Just asking. Go ask Paladin, heheeh. I guess it tries to be an IPA but it lacks all the important hops? Just asking. Citrus? Can't find any. There you have it.

Can for 2$ at chalet premier, nice place. Mild fresh beery nose. Pour is very light straw color. Taste is easy; its fun and rather light. Perhaps its a golden ale, doesn't say on the label but it is as fine and civilized as any good light lager. Stands up with the best and most popular light lagers out there. Absolutely no ill ale effects. Very good co2 level, refreshing. Goes down easy with hints of hay and a level, well balanced friendly attitude. I'm liking this. I think this may be the best PC so far. Thanks. Pretty good beer tasting experience, should have bot a sixer.

Can as pictured from vintage estate. Looks almost like carbonated water in the glass, so clear. Nose is off fruit, not real pleasant to the nose. Almost has a wild farmy attitude about it. Taste is a little astringent with a layer of fermented peach. Rather odd looking and rather odd tasting. Yes, this stuff is quite unique and that may not be for the better. I never really cared fo peach brews and this somewhat confirms my feeling. The whole concept and idea is great but in its execution, I'm not sure what is going on here. I only wish it was as farmy or wild as it smells, but its lacking any of that typical wildness so prevalent in open vat brews. Finish is quite difficult with an almost negative medicinal attitude about it. In the end it reminds me of some of the ruder home brewed experimental flavored hard apple cider I've brewed in the past.

Tap at the BrewLounge in Firestone Farms. Almost clear pale, last draft on the keg. IPA nose but no BO. Big bitter typical IPA impact, even bordering on imperial IPA. Some band-aid in there. Mouth coating and rude, big long bitter linger. Typical example of a domestic nasty imperial IPA. Terribly on style. Ignore my numbers if you like IPAs. This stuff is really on style. I can't stand IPA and did this for a tick, so the lower my numbers the more you'll like it my friendly IPA lover.

Bottle, its everywhere in youngstown area. Looks like a pale lager. A little sweet on the nose, almost cloying, like many Vienna. Whew, taste is stronger than expected. Yes, has quite a personality, especially since I was expecting a milder ale, more civilized, like a nonchalant lager or something. Yes, has really good carbonation, and I like that, its almost cutting, nice. Not sure what ti think of this. Accessible, yet grainy in the middle. Different and something more like an APA?
