Sampled at a local pub. This is a very ordinary Summer Ale. Pours a very light yellow color with a smallish head. Faint lemon aroma. Very light bodied with a touch of lemon zing and a mild dry hop flavor. In the hot sun you could do a lot worse but I also think there are better options out there as well. Average.

July 2006 - This beer really hit the spot for my grilling experience. Pour was really brilliant yellow, minimal head, lacing. Crisp refreshing wheat taste with citric tart and a bit of sweetness. Great for a hot summer day.

Pours a clear amber gold. Nose is almost like rotting orange skins or something like that. Just smells way too funky to be right. Flavor is just as bad as it smells. Borders on rancid. The second swig proves to be a bit more gentle. But still that underlying rotting tone to it just ruins all hope. Even though it smoothes out over time, the initial hit is way too nasty. And it leaves a disgusting aftertaste. Who cares how it feels. This is not drinkable at all. It should be removed from their lineup and never sold again. Horrid.

Pale yellow wheaty color, huge spritzer-like head that disappears quickly. Mealy clove aroma. Tastes of clovey phenols from the wheat, with hardly any malt, maybe a touch of citrusy hops. Mouthfeel is way too fizzy. Finish is tannic but clean. Pretty easy to drink but not good enough to make me want to have more.

Bottle. Light golden, opaque pour. Aroma is bright apples mainly. Not much else, really. Flavor is some slight sour apples, wheat, some spices. Flat, watery finish. Drinkable, but that’s about it.

Bottle: Poured very clear, with a golden straw color, zero head and just a tizzle of carbonation. The aroma is crisp but quite starchy. This also drinks with a certain amount of gristiness and perhaps just a slight bite of orangey citrus. Very mellow all around. (#3248, 12/15/2007)

12 oz bottle in a mix six pack from Monaghans. Poured a clear gold with tons of visible carbonation and a pillowy dense white head that left some nice lacing. Malty aroma with lots of citrus blended in including grapefruit, orange and lemon zest. Flavor was just nasty with the only thing noticable was sulfur and metal, yuck. Do I really have to go on?? Pass on this one,

Pale color with small white head. Thin mouth feel with a strange tart/sour finish. Maybe some lemon that distracts from the overall taste.
