Commercial Description:
A classic introduction to micro brewed style beer. Pale gold in color, and lightly hopped for a crisp and smooth flavor.

As the description says, an introduction to micro brews. Doesn’t warrant much consideration beyond that.

On tap at GVB in McMinnville, OR--Light straw-copper body with a tiny white wispy head. Cheerios, grainy, crisp, creamy, clean nose similar to the 3rd Street Wheat at GVB. Finished with a bright cereal creaminess and a mild hop spiciness.

Draft at the brewpub. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty, and the flavo ris sweet with notes of both malt and straw - very plain.

Probably the worst beer they had on tap. Yellow, fizzy, bland. Reminds me of pretty much anything I could drink out of a can.

On tap at Golden Valley Brewery. Yellow. Thin with a slight hop taste. Definitely the weakest brew here and not worth the time.

[Tap – Brewery] A light colored yellow brew. A small head and a good nose or hops and malts. A very smooth flavor. This was a good beer for a very hot day over 100 today so it was good.

This was pretty tasty considering I am not a huge fan of this style. The flavor was smooth, with a little bit of fruit and dough, and a little bit of perhaps an ammonia grassy hint there as well. Just a little bit of funk in the finish but overall enjoyable if it was the right time of the year.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a lighter gold, very clear, with a smooth small white head. Fruity aroma with a even balance of hops and malts showing. They balanced this beer well, but he finished tasted a bit stale, maybe this keg was getting a bit old or the line needed to be cleaned.
