Commercial Description:
The Firehouse’s lightest ale. Light in body and bitterness, but great on taste. An easy beer to try for those unaccustomed to micro-brews.

Very pale gold body. Light malt in the nose, slight citrus note there. Straw malt surprisingly big and a little on the sweet side. Light bitterness in the finish.

On tap at Firehouse in Rapid City, SD. This must be what the Firehouse uses to put out the fire, because it’s basically water! Better than Bud/Miller (a little less adjunk) but not much to it. Similar golden appearance with white head and maybe a little better retention than BMC beers have. Slight malt flavor and very little complexity. A good beirut/pong beer - easy to drink in mass quantity.

Not a bad beer. Golden with no head. Grainy taste with a clean finish. I made the witch to wilderness wheat after having one of these.

Last stop of the return trip during ABA Beer Tour ’07. Sampled at the brewpub restaurant in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota. Pours a clear golden blonde brew with virtually no head. Aroma is ighter than the brewery’s Wilderness Wheat, with just a hint of multi-grain (mostly corn) malt, and some flowery hops. Taste is well carbonated, slightly acidic, light bread flavor with a moderate bitterness. Finish is dry, clean cut and no bitter aftertaste. At least this product will keep the maco diet beer drinkers happy.

On tap at the brewpub, 4/9/06: Dark yellow with zero head. Starchy! Hnt of corn ... no, actually this is really corny. for the Bud crowd.
