Bottle. Nearly golden pour, not much head. Not much going on generally with this beer. Mild hops; a bit grassy. Thin and watery and grainy. Easy to drink, but quite unremarkable.

Good but not great beer.. Not a bad beverage, just not a great beer. thank goodness it was only $0.99 per bottle, I am enjoying this crisp cold slightly above average beer. Fairly bitter but nice hops, slight pine flavor in the background

Bottle - Great appearance. Pours a nice slightly cloudy golden color with a thick creamy white head. Ok lacing. Not getting much aroma. Bitter, very bitter hoppy flavor. Mouthfeel is intense, but short lived. Needs a little more life to warrent a higher rating. Crisp and very drinkable, just not overly memorable

Bottle, from total wine. Golden pour wtih a nice white head. Aroma is malty, bready, crackers and grainy. Flavor has a fair hop profile and some light malts. Not amazing, but certainly drinkable.

12 oz bottle from ? (I lost track of where/whom I got this from) Slightly cloudy dark yellow pour with a fair white head that left some lacing. The aroma was a bit musty with biscuit and grains. The flavor was light with dough, nuts, weak pine, and mildly biter hops. The mouthfeel was full and malty. The finish was medium in duration with lingering biter hops. Overall: A refreshing summer beer, very sessionable.

Bought from Costco. Case contained this, Red Tail Ale, White Hawk IPA, and Eye of the Hawk Ale! Blue Heron had an aroma of pine. Poured a golden yellow color with a small amount of head. Very refreshing, mild hops. When I drank this it was hot outside. Good summer beer!

Golden - slightly orange color. Hop aroma - slightly medicinal, maybe pine. I found that the malt was competing with the hops and really produced an inconsistent taste. Just okay. Probably wouldn’t buy again.
