Bottle provided by a co-worker who recently picked this up in NY. Has an odd lactic sour note in the nose with a hint of stale grain. The flavor is pretty simple; pale grains, light lemon and some light hay/grassiness. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Ok for a quick drinking beer but nothing you would ever want to come back to again.

Clear golden head with a firm white head, light fruity aroma, crisp, straightforward flavor,not too distinctive, but a fine daily beverage.

had one of these at a family gathering. what can i say, it’s a very light beer. no body at all. off golden color with a white head. i didn’t get much of a discernible taste out of it. it went okay with meat, but with no taste, that is not saying much. i’d never buy it.

bottle: smells definitely lagery, which is a bit odd. That is to say, yeast and grain. Taste is a bit better... thin and light, but a little flat definitely a refreshing brew. The color is a pale yellow and white head.

Cloudy, golden, sunny yellow. Minor snow white head. Lots of carbonation. Nice golden look. The smell is German lagerish malt. Very bitter; deep, rich and heavily roasted grains. Not a wimpy aroma. The taste is bitter as hell like the German/amberish malts of a Heineken. But also has an English, bready base. Hint of ringwoody (okay fine, chlorine) sourness. The feel is like a real English ale, or a cream ale. Adds the perfect amount of substance. It’s a damn good, thick golden ale.

12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 4.0 (thanksj12601). Pours a hazy amber/gold with a fluffy white head. Nose is spicy yeast. Taste is grainy... bread, hay, grass and a little spice. Body and thin and finish is dry, is a bit watery. Some ash in the aftertaste. An almost ok beer if not for the finish/aftertaste.

on tap–pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is sweet grain, some hops. Taste is sweet grain-towards caramel, secondary earthy hops.

On Tap At the Brewery. Nice light golden pour with a medium head. This was a very fresh light crisp beer. grassy wheat sweet and refreshing. Great for a hot summer day.
