Pint can from Jow. Thanks. Can is a gusher. Pours a slightly hazy brass color with a big foamy white head that has fair retention. The aroma is medium in strength with pineapple, grapefruit and pine resins. The taste is pine in the forefront with light grapefruit and caramel filling in the back. The Palate is full and coats the mouth evenly. Finishes long with lingering bitter pine. Overall: First rate West coast style IPA. Paired well with some imported sharp provolone and crackers.

Pint can from Jow. Thanks. Pours a clear dark gold color with a big foamy white head that is short lived. The aroma is grains, spicy herbs, caramel and a trace of corn. The taste is very malts forward with caramel well balanced by some spicy noble hops. The palate is medium and crisp. Finishes somewhat with caramels. Overall: Well made lager--much enjoyed.

Pint Can From Jow. Thanks. Pours a very cloudy yellow color with a medium white head that soon recedes to a fine scum. The aroma is light with some murky, musty mango. The taste is light citrus with mango, breads, cracker and perhaps papaya. The palate is light and crisp with lively carbonation. Finishes short and dry. Overall: Interesting concoction, better than most American blonde ales.

Bottle from Jow. Thanks. Pours a dark gold color with a small white head that soon dissipates away. The aroma is weak with mild corn and some grains. The taste is as weak as the nose--I get some corn and indistinct grains. Palate is thin bordering on watery. Finishes short, sweet and forgettable. Overall: grateful for the country tick.

Pint can from Jow. Thanks. Pours a crystal clear 14k gold color with a small white head that slowly dissipates. The aroma is light with herbs, sweet corn, and some mild citrus. The taste is light corn, grass, some cracker malts, bit of lemons and spicy noble hops. The palate was thin and crisp, but not watery, and the carbonation was lively. Finishes medium in duration and dry. Overall: Really good helles, goes down easy. Not one of my favorite lager styles but I definitely would drink this again.
