12oz can, served in a pilsner glass. Canned 10-10-24 14:01

Appearance: Pale yellow/straw color, mostly clear (just a tiny bit of chill haze), 1/8" white head. Some strands of persistent lacing.

Smell: Light citrus/pine hop note, otherwise pretty clean.

Taste: Light hop taste (herbal) at front and at the finish. Clean bready malt, a little bit of a cooked grain note.

Mouthfeel: Prickly carbonation, approaching fizzy. Beer is a little thin.

Overall / Drinkability: For a "lightish" beer, not too bad. Simple, easy to drink, but one is enough. Might be better with the right food.

12 ounce can from the Ohio Bobcats Ricky 12 pack. Canned 07-09-24. Served in an Ohio University pint glass, the beer pours a mostly clear gold color with about an inch or so white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like bready malt and some Noble hops. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some corn, floralness and grassy hops noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is light, it's nice and easy drinking with a good amount of carbonation. It's a nice easy drinking brew for a hot day, would definitely be tasty for tailgating too!

 

I am trying this beer off the tapper at The Daily Growler in Powell, Ohio. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had very subtle grain. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base and subtle honey highlights. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

I wanted "yella" beer, and this delivers what was promised. Clear yellow color when poured into the glass. White head forms, and then fades immediately. Noticed there is flocculation of some kind of protein suspended in the body of the beer. Smell is sweet cereal grains and corn that reminds me of driving by a purina factory as a youth. Hint of a grassy hop behind, and an old world lager-like finish lends some balancing bitterness. Moderate carbonation that feels better from the glass than the can. Something vegetal on the finish detracts slightly. Crushable and quenching if not memorably outstanding.

Very refreshing

 

 

 

 

Canned on 4/9/20. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a light pale golden with bubbles racing upwards; creamy eggshell white head that falls leaving great retention and sticky lacing. The aromas are floral along with some citrus notes. Lots of fresh bread and crackers. Some corn. Some fresh grass. Mild hints of strawberry. Malts are there. The flavors follow the nose. More floral notes. Lots of fresh grass. More bread, grains and corn. The citrus is subtle and balanced. More mild hints of strawberry in the mix. Moderate to low bitterness. Malts do their thing without dominating and almost take a backseat. Alcohol goes completely unnoticed. Mouthfeel is light-bodied with active carbonation. It's sharp, crisp, fizzy, fluffy, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a very solid brew. It's not flashy, but it's not supposed to be. It's very clean, crisp and refreshing. The craftsmanship is on point. This one is very fitting for the warmer weather.

 

Kinda sour, not really my jam
