Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

(bottle) Pours a hazy light yellow with a medium white head that recedes quickly but provides some good lacing. A really great aroma, plenty of clove, lemon peel, lightly peppery, a hint of vanilla with some floral undertones as well. Very bright and clean aromatically. Flavor falls short of the aroma, with some crackery malt in the mid, lemon z
Pours a cloudy yellow, with a medium white head. Aroma is fruity, grassy, and a bit of lemony zest. Taste was quite sweet, with a nice amout of flavor throughout. Very easy, drinkable beer.
(Draught) Pours a clear pale yellow with a moderate white head. Aroma of grass, grain, and light citrus. Flavor of toasted grain, citrus, and straw.
