Light golden color with a little orange hue. Aroma and taste consist of malts and caramel. It felt very light in the mouth, but not so much that it seemed non-existant. Not the best by far, but quite tasty.

This beer pours a clear golden fluid with champagne-like bubbles rising up through the pint glass I used. The head which didn’t last too long was thick and frothy but eventually gave way to become a like film over the top of the beer. The somewhat weak aroma is mainly malty with hints of green grapes. The mouthfeel is quite creamy and very satisfying. The flavor is mostly sweet carmelly malts with only a touch of hop bitterness near the finish. There are also hints of fruitiness. Quite refreshing actually.

Very drinkable. Light flavor of apples and a bit of spice. I bit thin, but not bad. Great for a hot day at a festival in the park.

Decent beer. Leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste. Pretty just an average beer in this category.

Well blended bitterness with a creamy palate. Easy to drink and nothing over-whelms anything else in the beer. Decent.

Rich gold hue; average head. Creamy carbonation; snappy texture. Filled with honey, flowers, herbs, spices, cereal and sweet grains. Nice, slightly hot alcohol nip in the background. Has some tripel characteristics, but with an unusal hop profile. Slightly cloying in the back of the throat. Not too shabby.
