Poured a golden color with a small, white head that quickly diminished to nothing, leaving no lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet malt, dough, some straw, and light citrus / grassy hops. Taste of toasted malts, grains, and finishing with a dry, lightly bitter, hop finish.

A sweet, honey-molasses accented lager, thickish mouthfeel. Could use more crispness and less grassiness. Hops are off.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours gold, with minimal head. Aroma of malt, some hops, slight honey. Tastes crisp, malty, with finishing hints of citrus, slight hops, and honey.

The Lure:
Faint citrusy and spicy hops under a sweet malt base. I thought I was going to get a crafty and crisp lager, but this appears to be their house blond bore.

The Festivities:
Sweet malts recall plantanes and pears, as pleasant carbonation offer easy quaffing. Too sweet and not hoppy enough for what I like in the style, the clean finish leaving nothing to hang on to. Well-brewed yes, but horribly boring.

Transcendence:
There is no purpose in smelling and tasting your slice of white bread.

Grainy, doughy, floral and minty aroma. Lightly hazy golden body is topped by a low, fine bubbled, white head that recedes to ring with some lacing. Mild herbal, wheat flavour. Light body with strong carbonation. Sampled at the Kennet Square Brewfest 2005.

Pours a clear straw color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet and malty. Ordinary and bland flavor of malt with lingering sweetness. The body is light and the carbonation is medium. A forgettable experience from a brewery that ususally provides goosebumps.

Pours a hazy light golden color body with a small white head. Very faint hop nose. Pretty weak and boring in the flavor dept. Some mild grassy and citrus hops. One of the least exciting beers I’ve had in a while. Not undrinkable, just boring.
