On tap at the Republic, looking forward to this one. Tallgrass doesn't do anything revolutionary but I think they are a bit under-rated.

If anything, 8-bit's pour is clear. Not a lot of sediment to cloud the eye. Light in color, with no more than a half finger of head.

Aromatically, I pick up bakery, tiny bit of spice, and a surprising wallop of cut grass and hops.

Taste tends to follow the schnoz. Again, surprised by the hop presence. Mouthfeel might be a bit much on carbonation, but still all right.

Good summer beer. Wasn't looking for anything spectacular and didn't get it, but I would go back to 8-bit for schizzle.

Serving type: on-tap

A basic Pale Ale with a light body, average hoppiness, and nice carbonation. The 8-bit has a decent malt character to it, but beyond that a pretty limited flavor profile. The hops here are pretty subdued, a little citrusy, but generally came across as pretty flat to me with little immediate bite or depth of flavor. Not a bad beer, but an average American style Pale Ale with a can that's more intriguing than the contents.
