Best Quote During Tasting

There was an Italian girl in school once….

Justin:

Aroma - A little sulfur up front, a little lemon, corn and malt.  No hops noticeable.
Score: 9/12
Appearance - Head is thin and off-white,  beer is light gold
Score: 2/3
Flavor - It's got a distinct flavor of corn and there are no real flavors of hops to be found.  Crisp, and clean.
Score: 14/20
Mouthfeel - Medium-high carbonation.  Light in the body with a dry finish.
Score: 4/5
Overall Impression - My final verdict on this one is that it's a fairly average beer.  While at no point was I disappointed while drinking it, it never had anything that jumped out to me as above average.  The one true positive for this one is that I feel like it would please a lot of people who were just dipping their toes into the craft beer water.  For that reason, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who needed to get their feet wet.
Score: 7/10

 

Blake:

Aroma -  Grain, lemon, sweet corn, and light malt. 
Score: 9/12
Appearance - Golden straw colored with a thin white head.
Score: 2/3
Flavor -  A bit of caramel from the malt, and a decent amount of corn. No hop presence detected.
Score: 14/20
Mouthfeel -   Light body, with creamy finish. (So many jokes here...)
Score: 4/5
Overall Impression -  It has a fairly decent score because we judge by style, but overall I'm just not a huge fan of cream ales in general. I like a bit more flavor in my beers. I'd still pick this beer long before a lot of similar styles, but wouldn't ever be a go to beer of mine.
Score: 7/10
