Tasting - Perfect Pour. Sparkling gold, fizzy white head. Faint aromas of toasted biscuit and florals. Initial seltzer water flavors mingle with notes of floral cereal from start to finish. Light bodied and thin with soft carbonation. I can appreciate a good light beer, but this just misses the mark...

Man this one sucked. Poured a clear light yellow with a thin frothy white head. The nose was skunky, corn, cardboard, sweet, grassy. Kind of funky. The flavor had a contaminated tartness to it, skunky, grassy.

Bottle 12 fl oz
Appearance: Clear gold brew with large presentable creamy head. 3+
Nose: Sweet pale malts with grainy theme , light mineral grassy hop aroma on top.
Flavor/Palate : Thin bodied with oily texture. Watery , mineral front with slight off grainy follow up. Slight hops on top. Quiet shallow , not something you would expect judging by aroma. Empty disappointment.

I thought this beer was a lot better than people are giving it credit for. I detect some fruit and above average malt. It may be because I have had a wicked long day and this beer hit the spot but I like it and would buy again

Bottle. Pours lightly dehydrated piss yellow with a foamy, creamy, white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, cereal, straw), light hops (flowers), average yeast (sweat) with notes of corn and paper. Light bodied, watery texture, light carbonation, and a metallic finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. Pour it out now!

I forgot to trade Dan for one of these at 1000 Islands, now I had to pay my own hard-earned money for a 6. And it wasn’t worth it. This was okay for a light, grassy aroma, buttery palate, no off tastes, but not very complex, boring looking.
