A: Deep copper in color. Clear. About an inch of foamy head that reduces down to surface coating, leaving a little lacing in the process.

S: Surprisingly hoppy, predominantly of floral perfume and grassy notes.

T: Lightly sweet. Lightly tart. A little bit of fruit and little watery. Some light malts and the not much in the way of hop character. Finishes with a slightly spicy finish that disappears quickly.

M: Light bodied with medium carbonation. A slight acidity is present.

D: Well, this one has a great hop nose, but the flavors just aren't very pronounced, though I don't believe that was ever the intention. Overall, I find this beer to be a little light for my tastes, but with that lightness, comes an easy drinkability. Very sessionable.

A-Clear amber, one finger head, not much carbonation.

S-Extremely malty, caramel, and grass. No hops.

T-Extremely malty (maybe it is old but no bottle date), caramel and grass, no hops or bitterness.

M-Medium bodied, some carbonation.

O-I'm hoping the bottle was past due, the malt flavors were ok but the lack of balance destroyed the beer.
