Commercial Description:
With accents of orange blossoms, this refreshing, light pale is clean and smooth. A subtle hint of coriander enhances the crisp finish.

I thought this was one of the better beers I had in the sampler. Nice aroma and fruit flavors. Nice subtle orange flavor throughout. Not bad for a pale looking beer.

Draught at Empire St. Building location. Pours a light yellow gold with a small white head. Light aroma of orange and grains. Orange comes through nicely in the taste. Light tasting with a crisp finish. Unexpectedly pretty good for a light beer.

Biscuit malts, fruity, light hops, and noticeable spices in this brew. Not great, but I was pleasantly surprised with this light beer.

A Sim rate (tap at Heartland Brewery, Union Square): Aroma of lemon, orange and lots of sherbert. So so sweet with lime and melon. Not so impressive in colour (it IS a "light ale" after all), but carbonation and lace look great. Lace really sticks to the glass. I never thought so much flavour could be packed into such a pale-looking beer. I could drink this all day. It’s melon, peach, raspberry. So refreshing. Very unexpectedly good.

Part of a Seasonal Sampler at the Chophouse location. Light pale orange yellow, thin white head. Aroma is Children’s Chewable Tylenol (gross) Flavor is the same with grapefruit.
