Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Pours clear golden with a fluffy white head leaving some lacing. Aroma is hoppy, dry floral, slightly malty and some dry hay. Acidy dry mouthfeel. Flavor is dry, hoppy, malty and some citric. Soru watery palate. Finish is sourish and hoppy.
Pours a clean pale yellow with one finger of frothy white head. Nose sucks, smells old for one. Sweet stale bread and wet hay. Flavor is the same, bleh. Bit more body than I would expect from the style.
It doesnt totally suck. Dry an watery, it can be refreshing on a hot day. Goes down really quickly and you can put away a couple liters like nothing.
