2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 rdixon77 (1617) - Georgia, USA - APR 25, 2015
Old rating. 2006 national western stockshpw. We were late for the mutton busting, so we cut through the stockyard. We happened upon a cage with several of the rare white buffalo. On the pen were two bottles of this beer and a snickers bar, possibly an homage to the elusive beast, either way we drank the beer and ate the candy bar. A magical night, I remember almost nothing about the beer except that it was plain and magical,.

Taster at a local. This is obviously no longer an Amber, and the breweries web site calls it an American Pale Ale. Pours a thin white head, over a clear, yellow (SRM 3) body....nose is light cereal, grass....taste is cereal, light malts, finishing with a light hop bitterness....mouth feel is light, carbonation medium. While it is nicely balanced it is a light version of a Pale Ale. This would be a pleasant "patio beer". BJCP 6/3/11/4/5

Draft: Clear and light amber. Smooth but light body went down fairly easy. Toasty malts with a faint sweetness. Decent balance, but unexciting. Definitely a session beer for the masses.

i earned my thirst the hard way, toiling up a dusty colorado hillside, sweating enough to irrigate an acre of mojave mangoes. back home after my exertion, and gasping like a fish out of water, i could have drenched that thirst with tap water, but being a major beer geek, i reached for a bomber of local brew-- in this case, a crested butte white buffalo. it was terrifically quenching, owing largely to its resemblance to cold water. this beer has some caramelly aspects, mostly in the color, being a shade of golden-orange suitable to caramel corn-- it has visible veins of something i guess to be yeast, so, given the name "white" i was ready to assume it was loosely in the wit style. it isnt. is "weenie" a style? its understated aroma is butterscotch, and dry grassy hops. the head was not disposed to exertion and napped all the while i was taking tastes and notes--and, rather than waking up refreshed, merely lapsed into a coma and died. it quaffs nicely-- with little to either excite approbation or ignite condemnation to the dozing taste buds it glides over. its carbonation is mild, its body is like water-- only more so. a slight apricot-tort flavor, a touch of yeast and a brief distress signal of bitterness from a lost detatchment of hops. heres everything you adore in a cold glass of water, plus a cute beer accent and a pleasant buzz.
