Appearance: Pours a clear, orange body with a small, ring of white bubbles.
Smell: Some candyish hints to the light floral nose with a note or two of bready malts.
Taste: Light honeyish maltiness. A bit of fruit, a bit floral. Slight, underlying breadiness. Mild, spicy hop bitterness. Finishes clean and dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Fine, sure, though there’s not really much to it to begin with.

Sep 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to hopdog. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a medium off white lacing head. Aroma of hay, cardboard, caramel, some nuts, toffee, earthy notes and just a faint hint of hops. Flavor of light citrus and pine, grassy, hay, caramel and a malt graininess. Maybe this bottle was past it’s prime...but no freshness dating on bottle so who knows.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle, pint glass. Malty aroma with grassy hops. Pours amber with a finger of off-white head, leaves just a little lace. Resinous hops and caramel malts form most of the flavor, grassy and indistinct citrus elements also present. Turns a bit biscuity in the finish, leaves a tang in the mouth.
