Clear apple juice body with medium light-tan head. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit, some spiciness. Taste is medium sweet, some caramel, non-bitter grapefruit. Finish is mild grapefruit. Light, watery body -- nice lawmower beer.

Crystal clear, deep golden ale with some floaties. Not enough to haze the beer, but enough to wonder "what the heck are these large floaties doing in my glass... should I wash this thing? Medium-sized, frothy, off-white head. Good retention and spotty lacework. Good, malty aroma and flavor. Notes of orange blossom honey in the nose and flavor. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, incomplete finish. No closure. I need closure, damn it!

Pours a clear pale golden with a thin, lightly-lacing white head. Very subtle, lightly hoppy with a touch of crystal malt in the aroma. Body is very mild, drinkable and smooth with good balance, but not much going on flavor-wise.

Pours gold with a small head that dissipates quickly. Smells and tastes spicey with malty undertones.

Clear gold color with a rapidly collapsing white head, this has some nice, juicy fruit in the aroma along with some floral hopping. Light caramel tastes and some light, peppery spices are present in this light-bodied drink. I like the bitter hop finish... odd for the style, but refreshing just the same.

Pours dark straw, with aroma of caramel malt, hops, and some honey. Tastes malty, with a solid citrus and hop finish, and smoothness all the way down. Very nice.
