"Lawnmower Beer"

Taste is a mild flavor and can be characterized as boring nondescript beer. It has a grainy watery flavor with a metallic taste and a butterscotch aftertaste. This is one train wreck of a beer, much better choices out there.

Don't want a sixer

Before I write off this brewery, I'm gonna try and find another one of their beers. Summer beers are seasonal beers, so some could be a hit or miss in terms of enjoyment. I'm going to try one of this brewery's mainstay beers, to give it a fair shot and not judge it on the first.
