Draft... Clear straw-colored lager with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. The nose is mostly nondescript, but slightly metallic with delicate notes of cereal grains. The flavor leans toward the bitter side of balance and is grainy with mild acetaldehyde. Light-bodied and fizzy. Short, crisp, grainy finish. Oversparged or improperly mashed... but I’m no brewer.

on tap-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is mild grain, grassy. Taste is light grain, secondary (saaz-no, liberty) grassy hops bite. Slight seltzery.

Part of sampler at brewery. Clear amber color with average white head. Clearly brewed for light beer drinkers, but had more character compared to other moist air lights.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 48. This draft brew was enjoyed at the brewery in Saint Augustine Florida. This brew poured a large head of finely sized white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a great lace and a transparent yellow colored carbonated body. The aroma was that of a mellow mild malt hop combination and the mouthfeel was very tingly with a mild malt-hop feel and was smooth from start to finish. It had a mild malt hop flavor. It was nice for a light lager.

Draft at A1A in St. Augustine. This beer had a small sized white head that was creamy with fine sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was carbonated and transparent with a yellow-gold hue. The nose was lightly malty with some hop notes and a malty flavor. The mouthfeel was thin and smooth making this a light bodied beer. The lacing was excellent.

This one had almost no aroma but what was there was pretty typical for the style. The appearance is typical for the style too. heck the flavor is pretty typical for the style. You know what go ahead and add the palate to that category as well. Need I even summarize this one? Actually in the end somehow this one seemed a little better than average because there was no nastiness to this one.
