POURS GOLDEN WITH A SMALL HEAD. Aroma of malt and sweetness which drive into a palate that shows the malt and some spices, hops does come out in the end.

12oz bottle. Pours a yellow golden color with a slight haze, with a one finger dense head that dissipates slowly. Very mild aroma of wheat and yeast with a touch of spice. Taste is bready, wheat malt, with a slight tang from the yeast on the finish. Light to medium in mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation.

Bottle poured a clear gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of straw, bread, spicy hops and light fruittiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of bread, straw, spicy hops and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth spiced finish. Very drinkable session beer.

Darker yellow color. Thin, watery head. Icy lace sticks to the glass like cold weather on a window. The smell is a lighter, golden ale/lager aroma. It’s like a lighter, weaker pub ale smell. Nothing unpleasant, just a bit wimpy. The taste is an English light ale, along the lines of a Bass. Has a decent sweetish malt that is bready but with a dollop of molasses. It leaves a bit of an aftertaste. The feel is watery and leaves a minor bitter film. Underwhelming on the palate; a light lagery film at the end. All told, it’s an okay beer. Not overwhelmingly awesome, but drinkable I suppose.

Bottle. Pours a medium sized frothy white head with poor retention, transparent gold body, sparse amount of lacing, and carbonation observed. The aroma is malt and corn. The flavor is lightly bitter, malty, corn, crisp, clean, and a semi-dry finish. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied beer. Overall, this is easy to drink but is rather bland tasting and easily forgettable.

Very mild malt aroma. Clear golden color with a very small white head. Sweet beginning that slowly fades in the finish.
