Barely cloudy yellow color with a quickly dissipating white head. Sort of corny aroma. Taste is crisp and lagery with a slight bitterness. Not much going on.

Pours a very light golden color with very little head - aroma of slight fruit and grass - very bland taste and nothing lingers what-so-ever. Lots of good beers being made in NC these days - this isn’t one of them.

Good and tasty, light and airy. Pretty good for a hot Carolina day. Slight sweetness, light beer taste.

Draft at The Old Oyster Factory (Hilton Head). Pours a pale yellow, almost non-existent head. Aroma is very vague malt, not much else. Flavor is a light malt, touch of hops, barely there. Very commercial tasting.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It has a pale straw yellow color with good clarity and visible carbonation. The head is thin, bright white and foamy. It quickly fades leaving little to no lace behind. Smell: The aroma is mild and has hints of light malty grains and husky notes. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor is simple crisp and clean. Light malty grains give it a slightly sweet character with a touch of citrus and leafy/herbal hops. Its light body, fairly thin texture and crisp finish make it easy to drink. Notes: Overall it’s an easy drinking beer with a good clean favor but it’s not a stand out.
