This beer is our gateway beer for new craft beer drinker. Not too hoppy, not too malty, this beer is a blend of five different malts balanced with a light dosage of German hops. An easy beer for the palette.

As advertised, a clear golden ale. Damn near perfectly clear but not, in fact, perfectly clear. A smooth foamy white head gets comfortable on the surface and likes to leave some remnants on the glass.

Lovely smell to it. Simple and inviting. Crushed grain, cooked rice, freshly baked corn bread. Biscuity in fact, with an easy an unpretentious grassy and peppery hop finish.

This is a beers beer. One you and your dad can agree on. Familiar, yet bold. Sweet corn meal, gritty, and grainy. Hops just to balance with a touch of herbaceousness. Pepper, honey, and a light huckleberry-like taste in the finish.

A touch on the heavier side for the style. Creamy almost, but still very easy to guzzle. A soft carbonation and lack of bitterness only adds to the richness.

Beer. This here is a modern classic of "beer". As I mentioned before, one that'll make dad, hell even grandpa proud to share. Easy, simple, raw. Pull up a chair and bust out the Domino's. Gonna be a good night.

Cheers.
