Bottle. Pours a thin, slightly hazy amber color. Very little head that doesn’t last long, but some decent sheets of lacing that stick around. Aroma is fairly subdued. Some chocolate and caramel notes. Has the potential for more. Flavor is light malts, some tiny chocolate flavor. Random hops thrown in casually. Watery body, semi-refreshing. A big ole meh.

bottle - Pours hazy gold with a pale malt aroma accented by fruit esters. The flavor is sweet and yeasty with a little hops bitterness in the finish. The sweetness of this beer is almost cloying. Still, it’s not that it’s bad. It’s just not too good either.

From a 12 oz bottle tis poured a clear copper color with a fizzy white head and light lacing. Nose of caramel malts and mild hops. Clean crisp mouthfeel. Flavor is of light malts and hops. A little citrus in the finish. Simple drinkable beer.

12 oz.bottle, pours a golden color as expected with high carbonation and large head. Faint sweet aroma. Flavor is very sweet and mild with a very clean, crisp taste. Palate is very smooth once the carbonation leaves and no real aftertaste noted. Overall a decent sweet-tasting ale.

Aroma indistinct, color a pale gold. Flavor good balance of hop and malt with a hint buttered toast and orange marmalade. I don’t know if that makes this a "breakfast beer," but it is a decent selection with an almost creamy mouth feel.

Tap @ Walnut Brewery: Poured a clear light copper color with an off-white head. Light malt with a hint of citrus. Caramel that sweetness at the end. The finish has some citrus. Light body.

What I like about this beer is (if you live in Denver) you can be downtown in a club type setting (like SingSings) and still not have to drink Coors Light. Although for a true beer enthusiast, I am sure this does not satisfy-however for me, it is very drinkable and refreshing.
