Served in a pint glass
A: Pours a golden color with a very slight amber hue, pours perfectly clear with no carbonation bubbles, a finger of bubbly white head that dissipates immediately, leaves nice lacing
S: nice scent of hops with underlying earthy tones
T: tastes different from the last time i had it, not bad just different, hits with initial hop bitterness then mellows out with a slight maltiness and finishes with an aftertaste like a bock, not sure why there's so much going on here
M: strong carbonation tingle, falls off the back of the palate relatively quickly
O: i enjoy this brew, but i did enjoy it much more the last time i had it, it was more mellowed out and crisp, if i can find it again ill have to revisit

Golden pour, lots of clarity, 1/2" white head. Aroma wasn't hoppy, the hybrid yeast situation yielded sweetness.
Taste was a bigger than usual common (6.5%), but it was relatively disguised by the yeasty sweetness to the beer. Good stuff, definitely comparable to Anchor Steam. Good for summer weather. One of the sweeter SN beers I've ever had.
