Draft sampler at Indy. Poured amber color with an average white head that diminished quickly. Light sour citrus aroma. Light body with a watery texture. Light sweet flavor with ashort sweet finish.

Poured a golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma was mainly of corn and grass. Flavor is also pretty grassy with some bad adjunct, the only positive is it was very light so not too undrinkable.

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
