This is another one of those grassy somewhat herbal, but yet very breakfast cereal like, blondes that taste like a mixture of cornflakes and biscuits, cornbread without the sweetness.

Clear golden body topped by white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bready, honey, peach. Taste is medium sweet, peach/melon, some earthy, faint grassy. Light-medium body. Describes itself as a transition beer, but it doesn’t make much of a leap.

Very dark yellow and a very malty aroma. Biscuity, cereal-based flavor. Like drinking Ritz crackers. A little bitterness would be nice.

Pale golden color with a little head & lacing. The aroma is a touch hoppy with some malts showing through. The finish is grainy & balanced. A good made golden, solid flavors.
