Good malts, creamy. Good nose, lots of vanilla and hops. Lots of maltiness and more vanilla in the taste with decent bite at the end.

Light straw color, no head, smooth mouthfeel. The aftertaste built dramatically for six seconds into a phenomenal hazelnut (almost liquid Nutella!) finish--don’t know if this was intentional, (probably due to something septic, judging by the other earlier reviews of this brew) but absolutely fabulous due to this finish nonetheless.

Tap. Slightly hazy yellow. Nice citrus notes, bright, and smooth flavor. This was better than most "intro" beers.

On tap at the brewpub on 05/31/2009. Very clear golden body with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet honey, pilsener malt and light grain aroma. Sweet honey flavor, some grainess with a bit of pilsener malt and a light grassy hop hint. Very clean. Medium light body with moderately high carbonation.

Sample from tap at the brewpub. Pours pale yellow with creamy head. Aroma is corn and hay. Flavour is slight spiced with coriander otherwise mild bitter with a citric fruity note. Mildly spiced finish.

Clear, light golden color, average white head. Aroma, very minor, very small. Tiny tip-toe of hops on the palate. Light body, low testure, minimal finish. Passes easily through, leaving little impression. Light in every way, but that’s the design here, I’m sure. Every decent brewpub has to have something for the folks who walk in and try to order a Coors Light, and this is theirs. For that purpose, it works...otherwise, skip...

On tap, served cold, right there from the bar. I wasn't in the mood for a strong ale or stout so I decided to try the lighter fair that was recommended by the bartender as a favorite and a popular choice amoung the handful of people who frequent the place. I knew as soon as the bartender put the glass in front of me I wasn't going to be impressed. An OK offering of a pale. Hazy, solid yellow color with a off-white, small bubbly head. Smells lightly of grain and slight hop tinge. Taste is sweetly tanged hops sort of citrusy. Finishes dry with a small hop bite, kinda of grassy. I wasn't impressed

Definitely a notch above the usual brewpub’s beer for people who don’t drink real beer. Slight spiciness, ginger, woodiness. Drinkable but not remarkable.
