On tap in Aneheim. The flavors are quite similar (but not as crisp) as the golden ale Oak Creek produces. Very light, almost white with a yellow tint. Malt driven, citrus taking the back seat. Would drink again (but I’d drink almost anything again).

The Alcatraz’s version of a macro lager. Everything you hate about the macro lager, but amplified. Not drinkable at all. Corn, corn, corn. I’d rather have the macro lager.

Tap @ Orange location. Light flavor with a touch of citrus but not much. Worth trying but I would not buy again

Tap at Orange location. Light golden color. Aroma is light; maybe light pale malt. Flavor has mild grainy sweetness with a crisp clean finish. Light, but well made.

Tap @ the brewpub. Poured a clear light golden color with a white head. Grainy and light sulfur aroma and flavor. Hint of citrus. Short crisp finish. Light body.
