Pours a vibrant golden/orange colour with a medium sized white head. Plenty of carobnation, aroma is semi sweet of caramel and biscuity malts. Taste is relatively light as expected finishing off in a semi sweet honey flavor.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear light orange color. Head was thin and reduced almost immediately. My nose detected only a whiff of caramel and grassy hops. Light mixture of acidity and sweetness on the tongue. Malt dominated flavor of burnt caramel and toasted wheat bread. There were also some grassy hops and mild to moderate hop bitterness that peaked at 4 out of 10. Dry, grassy finish. Flashes of promise, but pretty blah.

Appearance: Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Smell: Faint aroma of toasted grains with an almonst indistinct floral hop scent. Taste: Sweet, lightly-flavored maltiness and a soft, floral bitterness. Bland finish. That’s really all there is to it. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: Wholly underwhelming.

Pours a transparent light golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma reminds me of smelling a bag of light DME. Body starts fairly sweet and malty with a good amount of carbonation and some mild bittering hop presence. Fairly well balanced and very drinkable. Would make a nice session brew.
