Bottle from Safeway. Medium golden with fluffy white head. Aroma of wet paper and school paste, cooked vegetables. Taste is a bit grainy, some yeasty notes, but they don't seem to fit. Misses on most marks.

Thanks Gene.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a fair golden yellow color with a thin crust of semi-foamy to bubbly soft pops of a little white head. Dissipated finely to leave some quickly sliding popping lace.
The aroma brought some sweet grains to honey, then dead grass with some earthy to root-like character.
The flavor reminded me like I was drinking a honey infused thin muddy concoction. Long aftertaste of honey and dead grass.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Due to the muddy flavor, I really don't see myself pounding this one. Carbonation felt a bit under. Finish was muddy/dirty with caked on honey globs.
Overall, as much as I want to be grateful for a buddy who gave this to me, I really don't see myself wanting to have this again.
