Commercial Description:
Is a unique, all-natural style of beer that currently falls under the category of a Specialty Ale. In other words, there is no true category for this beer... Characterized by its distinctive Mount Hood hop aroma and beautiful blonde color, Liquid Sunshine™ is brewed at a low temperature to create a nice lite dry finish. Using only the finest 2-row malted barley, wheat, rye, and great northwestern grown hops, this combination results in a clean, crisp, and uniquely refreshing beer.

Light in color and aroma as well as on the palate. Nice grains, for a golden ale, and a decent hop presence. Very clean beer with a disappearing finish.

fluffy white head and golden body; a bit buttery of a mouthfeel, but it’s cheap, light yet with enough character, and good... and definitely matches the description for a golden/blond ale: "[...] a light starter ale, with marginally more hop and body than a macrobrew, fewer adjuncts, but still not a flavourful beer [...]" -- good!

Cloudy straw yellow, ridiculously massive finely bubbled head that settles into sherbet islands and leaves thick lace. Powerful astringent woody/leafy hop aroma. Extremely hoppy with low malt, coming across as a little unbalanced in this respect, but nice. The overall feel and character reminds me of XX from Belgium.

22oz bomber. Pours bright, somewhat cloudy yellow. Thick white head leaves sticky lace. Smells very malty, light but sweet with a little hops in the back. Tastes malty sweet, crisp but not too thin. Not crisp enough though, good carbonation. Eh, okay but not that great.

$2.59 bomber from Bottle Barn! Nose is grainy with light grassy hops; urine yellow with a medium yellowish white head; Flavor has hop bitterness, and citrus, with not much maltiness. Most bitter beer this light in color I have ever seen! Looks horrible, smells mediocre, but tastes great!

Bottled at Kennedy’s San Francisco. Cloudy golden, firm head. Aroma of vanillaand orange. Sweet with clean wheat malt character. Quite hoppy with notes of buckwheat and orange. Surprisingly hoppy with a bitterness that seem unbalanced and almost inky.

Bottle. Malt has a light hay aroma, hops smell of lemon and perfume, and there’s a distict note of pear. Head is huge, white, rocky and foamy, is fully lasting and has excellent lacing. Color is hazy golden yellow. Flavor starts lightly acidic and tart, then finishes heavily bitter. Palate is dry, light, and has a fizzy carbonation. It finshes very dry and astringent. A little sharp in flavor and a bit too fizzy, but I liked the aroma and light, refreshing feel.

Bottle. Poured with finger think white head, body is a light straw color. Tastes of citris and lemon. Unfortunately, I was eating garlic while eating this, so I think my tastes are not acute enough.
