a lightly irradiant off golden color w/ a thick white head and some nice lacing. nice light aroma some citrus and pine just light. pretty avg palate. Flavor is pretty dry a light citrus and grass finishing w/ a small pine resin and a very light carmel. A real easy drink and goes down quite nice. I like it.

Bottle from South Bay Drug. Light copper color with a frothy white head. Nice floral hop aroma over light roast malt. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is floral and malt. Balanced. Very tasty. Could be a hint of citrus. Light on the malt.

Pours with a large, rocky, off-white head covering a clear golden body. Aroma of floral hops and some malts. Taste is lightly malty, but very watery with some slight citrus bitterness. Dry mouthfeel, light bodied with some bubbles. Good with food, but not too interesting by itself.

Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a crystal clear straw gold color, with a small white head. Smells of lager yeast, some grain, and mild citrus fruits and hops. The flavor is a bit grainy, wit the very mild hops making a small appearance. Extrememely simple and easy drinking. Was pretty much used asa palate cleanser at a tasting. Nothing offensive, but about as boring as it gets without being bad.

Very bland, slightly sour and yeasty APA. No significant hop profile and a touch of bitterness. The florals are present, but in such a small amount, it takes work to really notice them. Pours a foamy yellowish gold with white head.
