Appearance is a dingy, brownish amber with a minimal head; aroma is sweet, grainy, with a little bit of fruit in the background. Flavor is nice, of fruit (banana and citrus), yeast and a bit of a tart character that is tough to describe. It almost stings a little, but it’s a good sting. It is much thinner than expected, however, and does not develop with the heavy sweetness that I expected.

Paid $1.40 for a 12-oz single bottle at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours extremely clear golden yellow with a huge frothy head. Lemon, corriander, spice aroma. Flavor is interesting! Stars with a sweet fruity flavor and turns into a bitter peppery grapefruit finish. Not a huge fan of most yellow beers, but this one is tasty!

Another totally unimpressive beer from this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale golden color with a large white head. The aroma is sour macro tang. The flavor is spicy, piney and has light fruity hops. A dry peppery finish comes to dominate. Not particularly pleasant.

12 oz bottle brought to me by a friend on a visit to D.C. Bottled on 03/08/06. Wow then I am getting it fresh. Pours with no head. A completely lucid cheap golden color. Pretty much looks like a macro. The smell is potent, but a cheap grassy smell as well. The taste is not too characteristic. Tastes like a non-offending lager. Crisp and smooth going down. Very surprised of the 8.5 alcohol. Basically, its a middle of the road lager with a high alcohol content. Uninteresting and undistinguishable.

On tap. Poures a deep brown with a deep tan head that reminds me of guinness because of its creaminess. Aroma was of roasted malt and coffee with chocolae and vanilla. Flavor was roasted malts and chocolate with some smokeyness and vanilla. Mouth was very creamy and enjoyable. A real nice stout.
