12 oz bottle, no glass. Poured a hazy, light gold. Surprisingly malty aroma and taste for a blonde summer ale. Was expecting a Corona, but was pleasantly surprised.

Citrus flavor, but otherwise pretty bland. I must say, it was very good on the patio in 100f weather last week! Not bad.

Poured clear yellow with a small fizzy white head. Skunky cream aroma. Taste is some corn, stale hops and skunk. Neither pleasurable nor refreshing.

Decent stuff. Bright and sunny yellow, crisp lemony nose. Nice fruitiness, bit bready, decently hoppy. Not incredibly complex stuff, but it’s not trying to be.

Bought this 12oz bottle at Norm’s in Vienna, VA. Poured a pale yellow with not much of a head. Lemony aroma. Hops and light malt as well. Dry, wheaty taste. Citrusy, and a little, and i mean a little bit of spice. Kind of watered down, and dry as well. Not bad though.

Pours gold with the smallest trace of a white head. Smells of hay, straw, and cinnamon. Tastes of flowers but again roasted malts with a nutty finish shine through.

A light golden yellow with not much aroma, immediately it was obvious this would be a light tasting beer.This is a clean crisp refreshing beer. I expected a more watery taste but this was actually a fine tasting brew. Definitely a summer brew, very refreshing and thirst quenching. A hint of lemon, mild hoppiness and slightly dry finish. I favor a stronger darker beer personally, but this is one of the best light tasting beers I have had.
