The aroma is sweet toasted malt with a light hopping. The appearance is amber gold with an average size head that falls fast. The flavor is pretty good and somewhat sweet. I taste roasted malt and a light bitterness. The palate is decent too. I would drink another one.

Sweet malty aroma with a tinge of something sharp in the finish. Tea colored with an ample white head. Metallic water with a dash of malt.

Draft at the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Identical in color to Sam Adams Lager; but no lacing. Another beer that I just couldn’t get down. Corn and chemical bite; plain old nasty. Switched to Sam’s.

Citrusy flavor, amber color, pretty weak beer, and library is closing so I gotta go.

This beer pours a transparent amber with a surprisingly rich white head that laces the glass nicely. The nose is rather weak with hints of grains and flowers, but it is not unpleasant in the least. The mouthfeel is rather thin and the flavors, which are never very strong, range from a mild floral sweetness upfront to a very light caramel tartness. In the middle there are slight rusty, metallic hints and perhaps a musky yeastiness. The finish is mildly bitter with a light dryness lingering for a while on the sides of the tongue. All of the flavors are very mild, but that’s to be expected considering the nature of this beer. It makes for a decent summer brew if you’re tired of the Summer Wheats.

Drank this nursing a hangover after a day full of Yuengling. Helped out quite a bit, flavor was kind of citruslike sour. Would drink again.

Had on tap at Sunset Sam’s at the Gaylord Hotel in Orlando, Fl. Pours a dark golden with a decent frothy white head. Aroma has some fresh lake water accents with a hint of caramel. Flavor has some caramel, with but o a hoppy citrusy back end. Clean, smooth palate. Refreshing.
