The malts are cereal and grainy. The hops are spicy and earthy. Good carbonation. Nice balance. Has some taste for a light beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

From at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden yello with a small whit head. Light cornish and fruity hops aroma. Flavour is bitter, vague malt body and mild fruity. Ends light and bitter.

I had this on draft at the Beach Chalet brewpub. This is a clear yellow pour. For something called ’light’ there’s a nice presence of hops and malt.

Tap at the brewpub: Very pale yellowish with a white film of head. Papery pale malt aroma with some cereal grains, corn (adjuncty). Light grainy flavor. Very macro feeling. Some doughy sweetness, corn and hardly any hop character. Doesn’t really hit the style.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow color with a longlasting white head. Has a sweetish malty grainy aroma with some hints of hops. Sweetish malty grainy hoppy flavor. Has a sweetish malty finish.

Tap at the brewpub. The body was pale gold with a white head. The aroma was bready with some potatoes and grass. The taste was grassy hay. Not much else. Decent for a lighter golden ale.

For a light beer this was pretty nice. Went down smooth. Very pale but still a nice fruity sweet texture.
