Jul 14, 2009 Pours a hazy yellow with thin white head. Aroma is yeast (almost Belgian) and coriander. Flavor is light malt, orange and coriander. Light and refreshing. Doesn’t taste like a lager (and I mean that as a compliment). Nice session beer.

Jul 6, 2009 server said it tasted like blue moon at 5.4%...
pours just slightly hazy yellow with a lasting white ring and some drippy lace.
it smells and tastes of dusty earthy coriander, grain and oranges. it is a bit perfumy at times and finishes with a little kick of tartness and spice.
the medium body has a bit of richness and creaminess on the tongue. not bad...6/3/6/3/12/3.0

Mar 11, 2009 on tap-pours a white ring for a head and gold color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is perfumy, citrus, sweet grain. Interesting.

Apr 17, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. Served with an orange, this beer pours a clear pale yellow color with a thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing. Light spice and citrus aroma. Light-bodied and mildly zesty with spice and citrus flavors along with some sweet malt. The finish is lightly spiced with a bit of citrus aftertaste. Average overall.

Nov 21, 2007 Draught at the brewpub, as Springfest Ale
Blond color. The aroma is a bit perfumy, citrusy, flowery. Medium body, with a light Bourbon vanilla touch over a Lager-like beer. Odd.

Oct 5, 2007 Part of my sampler tray. It was labelled "Seasonal #1", so I had to ask what it was and was surprised to find it a "Springfest Lager" when we were at the very end of summer! Anyway, clear light golden yellow. Faintly fruity, clean grains, crisp finish. Before seeing this on the website I pegged it as a slightly fruity version of a pale lager, almost Kolsch-like, but less assertive. Maybe my palate is worn out at this stage!

dark yellow, thin white head, light citrus orange aroma (from the orange slice?), nice light malt flavor with a good deal of orange character, touch of sweetness, light spicy essence, missing the wheat, a cross between a wit and a lager?

Aug 12, 2007 Well this has a lot of orange in aroma and first taste. Flavor is just too fruity/wheaty for me. Another eh beer from these guys.
