Bottle. Perhaps my mistake was drinking this immediately after having had a Founders porter. This, in contrast, seemed anemic. But after awhile, it picked up a little steam. Still, a rather thin, lightly roasted porter. Dark brown pour with tan head, mostly diminishing. The aroma had hints of roasted malt, caramel, sugar and chocolate. The flavor was moderately sweet throughout, too sweet, in fact. Had light tastes of caramel and chocolate. Finished dry with a slight tartness. Light to medium body with a watery texture and moderate carbonation.

Bottle. A timid pale ale compared to many other APAs I have had. It is more malty than hoppy with a slightly off-putting vegetal character. Still, an easy-drinking ale despite it being far from crisp and clean. Golden/yellow, slightly hazy body with a thin, off-white head. Light aroma of caramel and floral hops along with a hint of canned corn. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Very little bitterness in the finish, a finish that is lightly sweet. Light to medium body with a smooth mouthfeel and slightly tingly carbonation. The aftertaste has a bit of canned corn juice flavor.

Bottle. Canned corn and green beans dominate both the aroma and flavor. Clear yellow/gold body with rapidly fading white head. Vegetal aroma along with some hints of toffee and husky grains. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and less than lightly bitter. It finishes about the same as it starts. Medium body with a buttery texture. Flat carbonation. A totally forgettable beer that borders on being a total mess.
