Appearance is clear golden with a quickly disappearing white head that leaves no lacing. Smell is very faint, almost undetectable. Taste is like dilute ricewater, starch with a bit of malt. Not many hops, not much balance. Even considering that the style is not intended to have massive malt or massive hops, the flavor of this one is so subtle that I think I missed it entirely. Slight malty finish. Mouthfeel is very light and watery. Drain pour.

pours golden, white head aroma, mostly of soapy citrus hops flavor, light bitter hops quickly followed by mild bready malts and finishing up with a decent bittesweetness hop palate.

Citrus and bread on the nose. Golden pour with a nice frothy white head. Taste of bread with a nice malt on the finish. Very smooth mouthfeel. I feel this is an under rated beer.

Pours very pale yellow, smaller white head. Aroma of peach maybe, and slight citrus. Tastes a little bready, with a nice malt. I also have to agree that it would be a nice summertime brew.

Pours very pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white micro head with good retention leaving spots. Sourdough and hay aromas. Sharp with upfront cereal and hay turning to a slightly hopped, dry German finish.

Transparent yellow in the glass with a very thin head. Slightly fruity character, not overly complex. I could see this being a refreshing summertime beer.

Pours brilliant pale gold, absolutely clear. Smallish white head quickly receding to thin film. Mildly sweet, bready aroma. Taste is medium sweet with a kiss of bitterness. Light body with light, fizzy carbonation. Smooth texture with lingering sweet malt finish. Overall not very exciting, but easily drinkable.
