Light gold color with a small white head. LIght honey, malt and floral hops aroma. Dry malt flavors with a hint of honey. Light but with a biting bitterness.

Nice little corn-syrup aroma (well, nice that it HAS an aroma anyway); overall pretty bland though a step about Bud. I didn't taste no stinking hops though.

On draught at the brewpub in Western Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a clear golden blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing and white ring. Aroma of light golden grain malt, a touch of corn character, grassy hops and a touch of pear. Taste is light bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, grassy hops and some light biscuit. Finish is semi-dry, crisp and then no aftertaste. A light summer lawnmower beer at best.

Golden color, no head. Vague honey aroma. Taste is directed by Saaz hops, but it has a slightly sweet tint. Not bad, but not one to look forward to.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear gold color with a thin white head. Not much of a nose other than a hint of apple and a whiff of less than noble hops. Light bodied and delicately sweet with mild bitterness. I tasted some cereal grain mixed with hay and a bit of noble hop. So so at best, but an improvement over the kolsch I sampled just before it.

Sample @ brewery. Somewhat stale malty aroma. Gold body with white head. Flavor is nothing more than a grainy swill beer.

Amber/Honey Coloring. No Head. Aroma Is Sweet, Citrusy. Flavor Has Honey, Grain. Dry and Crispy at End. Definitly Not a Bad Light Ale.
