pours out clear gold with a thin white head. clear "cloudy" gold color with a fast disapearing head. their is little thin lacing on the edges. smells of slight weak alcohol, ethanol hops aroma and a dry white wine grape aroma. it is light on the palate and thin with a flavour of sweetness with carbonation rolling across the tounge. not hoppy or malty with a slighty bitter dry white wine aftertaste.

Variety Case from Brewers Outlet, Lancaster, PA...pretty light pour...some hint of citrus in the smell and flavor...weak hops...I’ve had some summer ale’s similar to this...pretty weak, but a good substitute for your standard BBQ light beer.

Clear light pumpkin orange. Lots of carbonation. Any head it may have had disappears almost immediately. Bright and sunny. The malt aroma is a flowery pale sort that has the additional and unfortunate aroma of adjunct malts. Any barley does not shine through. A mild, flowery hop. Pleasant pale malt flavor with a mildly toasted malt bite. It does have a corn aftertaste that to me is unmistakable. The malt is half pale, half non-barley malt, at least as far as I can tell. It feels like a lager, which is to say not that impressive. It’s a very weak pale ale. More like a light lager in many respects, with some pale malts. Disappointing.

Draft Pours a light gold with an off white head. The head is decent but leaves quickly, still producing good lacing. Aroma has a good blend of hops and malts. The carbonation was okay. Mouthfeel was average. Flavor was clean and unrefined. Very easy drinking but not much depth. Has a watery texture. The finish was okay. Not a great aftertaste. This is an alright beer but not super rememorable.

A yellow/gold pour with a light white head and lace. Aroma is medium malt and light hops. Flavor is sweet maltiness with a hint of perfuminess and a light bitter finish. Carbonation is a tad foamy body is medium. Not a bad beer would like to see a tad more hop presence in it.

Not one of my favorites from Flying Fish. Not very tasteful, while it does go down easy. Dont be turned off of Flying Fish because of this beer, they make quite a few really good ones

I don’t really remember this one...but that’s the point. If it was good, don’t you think I’d remember it? Then again, if it was really bad, I probably would remember it too. But seeing as I don’t, its most likely neither, and therefor would place it square in the "unmemorable" category.
