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?

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 13, 2006 Sampled at the NABA 06 Fest: Pale gold, nice head and lacing. Nose of parsley and tomato with light malt. Flavor is creamy with a fairly malty body for a light lager such as this. I can’t get past the nose on this one. We need some vinaigrette and mozzarella balls. Or maybe a good tabbouleh? Braudog (3789), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 27, 2003 Beautiful golden and bubbly with a big poofy head. Nice lemony aroma. Superbly smooth, lightly fruity and bitter with mellowness. A hint of a banana-like yeast character even. Outstanding. presario (3010), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 12, 2007 Sample. Almost no aroma. Crisp gold colour. Almost like a malt liquor. Alcohol notes and spice which complements my pizza. Dogbrick (2907), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | 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!
