Easy drinking, but not exactly a top quality beer. It does have a nice, slight aroma and flavor of a strawberry blonde. A good one to drink for a night out at the bar with the guys - but nothing too special.

Charlotte airport, draught. Extra pale straw color with small head, off-white fizz and lots of bubbles. Bland grainy aroma is clean and boring as a wallflower. Mouthfeel is sweet and sticky and fizzy too. Tastes unpleasantly sweet with touch of tang. Needs more hops to balance it out. Watery, flavorless.

Pours clear golden in color. Small white head with decent lacing. Very carbonated. Grainy aromas with notes of lemon and malts . Tastes of bread yeasts, spices, malts, very little hops.

Draught, Charlotte Airport
Pale straw colour. Not much nose - slighty fruity. Really husky, and sticky sweet. Lots of fruity esters, but no hops for them to play with. Too sweet. Major conceptual problems.

Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. Generally light yellow in color with a very thin white head that dissipates to nothing. Aroma is faint with maybe some wheat and spices. Little fruitiness on tasting, but not many flavors came through. Generally watery mouthfeel with quick finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden with a small white head, almost no apparent carbonation. Light spiceyness in the aroma along with some fruit notes. Light fruityness in the flavor along with a bit of spice and some light caramel malts. Mouthfeel is medium with light carbonation. Finish is slightly sweet. Quite drinkable. Bottle says a pilsner style but i think really too malt accentuated and not enough nobel hop character for a pilsner.
