On cask at Rock Bottom. Pours murky orange with a foamy white head. Nice white lacing lasts for most of the beer. Aroma is of light hops, spice, citrus, and biscuity malt. Taste is of citrus, faint hops, and floral notes. Has a backbone of dry, biscuity malt. Lingering spicy grass taste. Mouthfeel is a tad too thin. Very light, and drinkable. Nothing overly amazing, but it’s refreshing.

Draft sample at RB - Chicago. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium malt and citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium balanced bittersweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Smooth drinkable session brew.

2009-09-26. Crisp yellow, small white head and lace. Mild grassy aroma. Flavour is light, very light bitterness, pale malts, hops are pretty light. Average palate. Bit dull but passable. I am probably under rating this slightly but these are the numbers I wrote down. On tap at Rock Bottom Chicago

Pale golden pour. The nose is quite citrusy and a little bit lemony. Fairly soapy initially, but this dissipates quickly leaving in its wake a fresh orange citrus over a light pale maltiness. Some light lingering bitterness with a nice creamy palate.

Tap at the Brewpub: Slight haze to the golden pour with a white film of head. Lightly zesty American hop notes in the nose- lemony citrus (Centennial) seems restrained with a hint of pale malts. Crisp light body. Soft pale malts back a mild lemony/grassy (Centennial) hop character. Softly zesty. Simple and one dimensional. A typical American/clean interpretation.
