clear yellow, fine white head, thick lace like ice on a winter window, floating ice crystals from the frozen glass, light indistinct malt aroma, creamy body, sweet corn flavor, light balancing bitterness but stays sweet overall, nice for a cream ale but that’s not saying much

(draft) Crystal clear straw body with white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, corn, light bread. Taste is medium sweet, corn/grain, faint vanilla. Light-medium body, light acidity.

Draft at Max’s. Clear yellow color with a foamy white head. Creamy texture, frothy, light and sweet corn and grain flavor, fresh, but really not too interesting. Refreshing and lightly spicy, with flavors and scents of creamed bananas, but all in all it’s a pretty regular beer.

Tap @ Front Door: Pours a golden misty color, decent white head and lacing. Nose of light hops and a bit of thin malt, lightly lotiony. The flavor is creamy...along with some citrusy and light sweet pale malt notes. Not that intense, but that’s the idea. Easy drinking, yet a bit floral. Not bad.

Draught. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is light yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), lightly hoppy (herbs), with a note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Funny name, but it’s a long way from their pils (which is quite good). They can’t win ’em all, I guess.

[Draft @ Max’s] Poured a clear, golden color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of bread, sweet, citrus, and cereal. More grains, toffee, citrus, and light sweetness in the taste. No flaws, pretty straight-forward.

On tap @ Oskar Blues poured a clear pale yellow with a small lasting white head. Aromas of bread, light straw and a faint hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, bread and a very faint hint of citrus with a crisp clean finish.

Draught at Oskar Blues. Pours clear light yellow with a small fizzy white head, mostly diminishing, spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, cereal, meal), average hops (herbs, celery), average yeast (sweat) with notes of cooked vegetables. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity and bitterness. I could not finish this beer.
