Dark straw pour with off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, hops, citrus. Tastes dry hoppy with caramel malt and mild peppery notes. Smooth with medium to light palate heft.

Draught at Cole’s, Buffalo, NY. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-gold with an average size lasting white head. Very, very mild aroma of sweetness and...I get nothing else really. Flavour’s sweet, which I wasn’t expecting, with grain, fruit and honey. Light bodied. Not bad but I wouldn’t want more then one pint of this.

On tap at Green Dragon--Poured a hazy orange-yellow body with a thick white head. Nose of gnarly malts, burnt plastic, and floral hops. Very strange nose. Sticky, medium-dry mouthfeel. Malty, dull finish. Not one of this brewery’s best by a long shot.

Draft: Sweet aroma of fruit, corn, and floral hops. Poured amber in color with a small, creamy, rocky, off-white head. Sparkling. Clear. Light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter flavor. Tastes of malts, Modelo yeast, nuts, floral hops, and sugar. Medium body. Rough (sandpaper) lightly sticky texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, malty, dry finish. A bit of an Oktoberfest quality to it.

Draught. At Cole’s in Buffalo. Cloudy orange pour, average white head. Dry wheaty/floral aroma, plenty of honey/clover sweetness. Taste - also soft wheaty grain with plenty of sweet honey - quite light. Fresh, light body and mild carbonation --- overall not bad, but a little too sweet.

On tap at Capones. Pours a mostly translucent copper/amber with a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that left some lacing. Aroma was lightly fruity, cereal grains, some bready notes, hops and citrus. Flavor of fresh hops, caramel, cereal grains, light toasted malt, some citrus and grassy notes.

I’ve had this on tap. It’s a nice, clean, light and crisp, but still flavourful and aromatic lager. it is dark gold with a fairly big white head that leaves a little leace. The aroma is grain, citrus (mostly lemon), crackers, and fruit. The taste is clean and crisp, light, but aromatic. It has a lot of grain and crackers, with light, persistent citrus and pine and a hint of caramel.
