My fiance filled my growler with this new brew from IBC when she went up to Bloomington to visit some of her old ISU friends.
A - Lemon gold clear brew with a one finger creamy head that drops to a thin cap with a fatter collar. Some creamy lace is left on the glass on the way down.
S - Ricey and adjuncty. I'm not sure that they actually use adjuncts, but it sure smells like it. Smells a lot like PBR (that's not necessarily and insult....I like PBR).
T - Thankfully, this stuff tastes a lot more interesting than it smells. It's a bit sweet initially, before displaying some gritty grainy flavors in the middle, and showing some nice light hop and honey flavors as you swallow.
M - Light bodied and grainy, but grainy in a good way (not like malt liquor graininess). Moderately carbonated with a moderately dry finish. Some metallic flavors show up in the aftertaste.
D - This is a bit mundane for my tastes, but for the style and for those who aren't quite as adventurous with their beer (non-BAs) this is a solid refreshing summer brew that is a nice change from all of the wheat/wit/hefe stuff that every brewery comes out with.
