Pours a medium golden color.
Smell is faint. Mostly sweet malt.
Taste is a quick rush of hop spiciness then mostly grain/hay.
Light and crisp but kind of forgettable.

Nice lime flavor with a good hop behind it. Very good, would drink a lot of these.

12oz can. No canning date, I can tell the can is not filled all the way and as I pour it into a glass my suspicion is confirmed. Pours clear golden with just a sliver of head which quickly vanishes, so far I'm not impressed. Smell is a tangy fruit, light tropical, tart. Taste is light and refreshing, I don't get much of the fruit that I smelled. Not as bad as I had anticipated but nothing amazing. Should probably be listed as a blonde ale.

Pours a slightly hazy yellow golden color with white head. Cereal grains, wheat, and some light bread on the nose; follows onto the palate. Light bodied. Finishes with cereal grains, and crisp.

Cloudy in color, not much nose. As the bottle says, simple, honest,craft. Refreshing and crisp. No after taste. Worth the try. Canned from a shop in Naples.

From a can received in trade with a non-BA member. Sampled on Decenber 31, 2015.
Slightly cloudy pale yellow with long lasting white foamy head.
The aroma has an array of toasted bread, dough, wheat, and hay.
The body is about medium.
The taste is toasted malts with a mildly dry, grassy finish. Nothing extraordinary but it was easy to drink.

L: looked to be a pale yellow, this was a shower beer left in the can.
S: Hay, caramel, hay again.
T: Corn, honey, pinch of spicy hops that is quickly replaced with a yeasty, phenol, funk. Not my cup of tea.
F: Medium to high carbonation. Nothing to complain about.
O: Nothing to write home about, would pass on this if given the option. The heavy yeast presence was surprising and off putting. Was an OK shower beer because when I got water in it I couldn't taste the difference. Reminds me of Old Milwaukee with the funk turned up to 11. Oddly enough, I'd drink OM over this any day. Not hop forward at all, and I like that (as most people do) in my APAs.

Poured from can into tulip. Packaged 2 weeks ago. Pours hazy straw color. Kind of a funky hay smell to it. Touch of caramel as well. Hay and corn come through on the front, but kind of in a good way. Aftertaste is kind of like how an AAL smells. Light mouthfeel, refreshing, but kind of funky.

Wow this as a American beer for sure. Very light and unflavorfull. Most Americans should love this beer but its not for me. Too light like most macros. If this is what Barley Mow was after, they did it very well.
