marcus (1116), Sacramento, California, USA Nov 29, 2008 This bubbly yellow beer poured with a thin off-white head that disappeared in seconds. There is actually a pretty solid malt base that is fairly tasty. However, this is a beer that is designed for summer thirst quenching, so is a bit thin, but crisp and refreshing. satan165 (164), River Grove, Illinois, USA Oct 31, 2008 i think this one is really getting an unfair bad rap. the thought of replacing a summer wheat beers’ malt with rye is interesting, if it can be executed half way correct. the question is can it remain light, fruity and suitable for hot weather but bring a spicy note or other rye quality that wheat cannot provide. in this case, neither. pour is regular old yellow with low carbonation. nose beholds the slightest touch of some rye character along with possibly some yeast. flavor contains the same proportion of interest. rye might be offputting for the style where heavy character is often expected to be subdued. however, rye is bold and should be treated and used accordingly. this turns out to be wasted potential and leaves me sad with disappointment. lithy (385), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 21, 2008 Slight hazy golden yellow with a thin cover of bubbly white head that disappears. Malty sweet aroma, more sweet light malt taste then some slight citrus. A crisp finish no noticeable hops, should try a fresher bottle (bottle date April 29 2008) emacgee (1192), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Sep 27, 2008 Pours a pee yellow with a lively carbonation and a frothy white head. The nose is crappy malty, kind of rotten, grassy metallic hops, cardboard. Little to no rye in the flavor, sweet malt, grassy hops. Not too hot. daknole (1117), Plantation, Florida, USA Sep 19, 2008 Well this one is not that good. Very clear gold pour with a small white head. Aroma is very grainy and malty...but in the macro brewed style. Flavor is off, weak, grainy, some malt and some odd hops. No good.
