Bottle from brewpub: Pours a pale golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of grainy pale malt and some noble hops with a hint of tartness. Body starts thin, watery, possibly infected, and with a good dose of adjuncts toward a bland finish. I prefer water, thanks.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from the brewpub. Pours a very, very light blonde pale brew, almost like a diet ginger ale with a fine film on top. Aroma has a faint grassy hop scent and some multi grain. Taste is highly carbonated, with a watery sweet breakfast corn cereal character. Finish is watery, clean and a bit carbonated going down. Not bad for a watered down lawn mower beer, but definately not a drain pour.

Pours golden yellow with white head. Little to no aroma with a very faint hop flavor. I might have mistakened it for water if it weren’t for the color.

clear yellow small white head some lace odorless some coating I think. Its like sex in a cannoe.. F***in close to water.

Very light. Some malts in nose. Flavor is crappy, fake sweet malts that fade to cheap adjuncts. Hops faint. Ultralight, and ultra-not good.

Very light straw color with a taller white head. Light malt aromas, very light. Actually tastes like ;Lite mixed with water.

Light amber color with no head. Smells and tastes a little like corn. A decent light beer.
