Light gold color. Medium to large head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. A medium to light bodied pale ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. A light refreshing, fruity and sweet pale ale. Kind of a mild lightweight pale ale. Smooth and light, it would make a good lawnmower beer. It’s a little too sweet. Nice fruity esters. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

No aroma. This is a pretty simple session-style beer. Light, but a good fruit to it. Nothing extraordinary, but good.

Bottle curtesy of KrausenJockey, pours decent copper color with thin off white head. The nose is bready malt and a touch of hop. The flavor is the same, with more malt than hop. Noce on a 95 degree late Summer day. I didn’t think I’d like it, but was pleasantly surprised.

Bottle pours translucent golden, large pancake batter like head, fairly sticky lacing, with plenty o’ carbonation.   Light hops and malt on the nose, very subtle it is.    Maybe a little bit of butter too.   Forwardly sweet, honey, like Alabastor mentioned.   No real hop bite, but minor malts.   Finishes somewhat quickly, with a slightly sweet aftertaste.   This seems like a pale ale bordering on a cross between a lager and a mild.   Not bad, but it doesn’t seem true to the style.   Definitely easy to put back on a hot evening.   Thanks goes out to batkins for the trade!

Bomber poured a clear golden amber with a small lingering ivory head. Aromas of bread, butterscotch, light carmel and light earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, earthiness and light honey with a smooth malty finish.

Hazy gold, small white head. Some toffee like malts in the aroma. Light fruity note, some honey and caramel. Nothing special.
