Dark copper in color......slightly hazy. White, pillowy head. Fresh, clean aroma with subtle hop notes. Sweet hop flavor in the front......clean, smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a slight bitterness, and a very subtle hop aftertaste.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a thin white head that quickly diminishes.

The aroma is sweet caramel and corn malts.

The flavor is sweet skunky and vegetal malts with a touch of caramel. It has an almost bitter dry finish. The mouthfeel is thin and watery.

Overall, this is a slight step up from a macro. If they were shooting for a BMC clone, they did a good job other than appearance!

12oz bottle-An amber colored brew with a decent white head which had an aroma of malts, grains, and slight hops. Taste was the same with the beer being fairly thin and watery.

Appearance: Light (and I mean light) copper body with a fizzy white head. Smell: Light, pale malt aroma with a faint flowery character to it. Taste: Light grainy cereal flavor with an upfront single drop of caramel sweetness. Faintly grassy. Finishes dry, but with no real bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Watery mouthfeel. Drinkability: Each sip leaves you not wanting more, but wanting something else.

Got this one bottled, thank you Slothgar! Hazy, dark orange-brown pour, very still with only a hint of a bubbly white head, slightly sweet nose like lemon iced tea, sharp but balanced flavor with some tannins, and a bit dry. Very interesting. A good, sessionable beer.

Pours a transparent light bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Mild aroma of sweet pale malt and some a hint of floral hops. Body starts with some light sweetness and earthy, bitter, hops, toward a bland, watery finish. Needs more body and fresh balance.

Amber color. Smell hops, malt, lemon juice and graham crackers. Taste of malt, hops, bread, gram crackers and citrus.
