On tap at the brewery. Pours an orange brown color with a white head. Citrus fruity nose with orange. Lightly sweet flavors. Slightly watery malt with a light bitterness. Ok alt, not as malty as others.

Tap: Clean golden hue with a fading lace and some spotty lace. The aroma has notes of grassy and floral hops, apple and light spice esters, and a biscuity note. The taste starts with a twangy citric and herbal hop character with a light bready background. Mild hop spice finish. The mouth feel is refreshing and lively. Nicely balanced, pretty accurate for the style, enjoyable surprise.

Had this one on draught as part of the sampler at the brewpub in Ludington, Michigan. Clear, medium brown pour with a hazy white head, very mild and malty, like the English Mild very sessionable. Good.

On tap. Pours a medium brown color with a very thin beige head. Aroma is light toast, bread, caramel. Flavor is toast, malt, light hops. Palate is medium-light bodied, mildly carbonated, finishes on the sweet side. Nothing to write home about but drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. I was not a fan of this one at all. Medium brown body, thin buff head. Light, grassy nose with subtle breads and toast. Thin, wispy malt body delivered little malt depth, and finished with a shot of grassy, bitter hops. Poorly balanced. There was really nothing here to grip.

Almost fruity aroma with some slight toffee. Fruity, toffee, caramel grassy (hallertau?) hops in the finish. Sweet, no bitterness. Amber color without a head. Light body, crisp, watery and refreshing.

Draft at brew pub. Clear amber color with medium white head. Aroma was a traditional tone of light malt and hops. Flavor and body was medium with a refreshing medium finish. Cold aging appears to be the style.

Light colored alt - served ENTIRELY too cold - not the glass, but the beer itself engendered ice crystals! Slightly burnt, nutty and sweet aroma (rye breadish) - somewhat typical alt flavorings although a tad drier (more hops?) and subtler and less sweet than other alts. A bit boring.
