Draft at brewpub. Beer poured clear and light. One of the staples along with Charlies and Peg Leg. Not much going on here. Lacks taste and body. Pretty much in the class of the macros.

The beer boured a clear yellow with a fair amount of frothy white head. It did not have much of an aroma--very faint bready and citrusy notes. It was very drinkable and was not overly carbonated. Initially, I really enjoyed the taste of the malts and the delicate hints of citrus. I could almost taste the sun quality. But after a while I lost my ability to pick up anything other than the bready taste in the beer, which set off my carb alarm. It was just too much. Had I not been eating french fried, this might not have been an issue, but I don’t know.

Draft at brewpub, pours a clear yellow with a white head. Has hints of citrus, spices, some hops. Finishes light and clean on the palate.

Draft sample at Knoxville Brew Jam. Poured a clear pale color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Drinkable brew.
