Yellow, whitish head. Aroma is a sourish pale malt dominated by lemon. Taste is more unpleasant sourish malt. Then a lemony finish.

Aroma of lemon with no malt to speak of. A light yellow pour with a tiny white head and lace. Not much past the lemon. Very thin and watery but when cold pretty damn refreshing at a ball game when it’s 90 degrees.

Draught in Chattanooga: This one pours a very pale golden color. It had a large white head, and left no lacing. The aroma is lighter. It has notes of lemon, very weak malts and some corn. The taste is OK. It is definitely light. There are hints of the lemon, slightly light malt body, as well as some corn adjucts. A good lawnmower beer.

On tap. This is a really light gold beer. Aroma is corny, papery. . .pretty straight up pale lager territory. This is clean and very light on the palate. The most notable flavor is of some papery hops going on. A weak malty profile is here. Lemon quality is not very strong. Pretty boring beer.

Not being a fan of lemons, I really tried hard to enjoy this but just could not. This is a pale lager with a little malt character that is just ruined by a heavy dose of lemons that bring to mind Lysol rather than sunshine. I’m staying far away.

Draft in Chattanooga w/ Shag/Clash. Pours pale yellow with about zero head and lacing. Aroma was corona-off in a way, some lemony citrus. The flavor was drinkable, but only as a beverage, not as a beer. Sweetened lemon juice blended with a cheap pale lager recipe? I’m not sure how they made it, but it was thin, water, and too lemony. Not a good finale, Matt, but it was fun.

A lemon and vinegar aroma. The appearance is a pale yellow with a small soapy head. The flavor is light on the lemons with some corn notes. I’m not sure what the point of doing this beer is. Overall not that good.
