This is the clearest palest beer I have seen. Yikes! Smell is sweet and doughy and not very inticing. Flavor is light and sweet dough with such a high carbonation it almost seems tart. The mouthfeel is so bubbly - it is hard to drink. Actually has some flavor - but just a preferred style of mine but I can see that this is drinkable.

Very light golden color......head fades quickly. Extremely light aroma of malt. Light flavor up front......crisp mouthfeel. Light flavor continues in the back......finishes light. In short, you could say this beer was definitely light all around.

12oz bottle. Wow I actually bought this while in Texas. Spiey on the nose for aroma. Clear yellow body with white head that was gone quick. Zesty soapy spice driven flavor. No real refreshment attribute to this beer. uck

Very pale yellowish color with a light white head. Light smell of grains, malts, and corn. Watery taste, grainy. Very light. Better than the average light beer.

Bottle, Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a clear light yellow with fizzy white head that dissapeared very quickly. Aroma is actually nice, a light berry smell.....Flavor is not bad, just not much of it.....slight berry and very little malt....Mouthfeel is very watery and high carbonation.....This is a light summer beer to quinch the thirst and not be very heavy, and it taste much better then a miller lite with slight citris notes added....that appears to be what they are going for with this beer, so Im not going to slam it, it was light and refreshing....I would drink this again on a hot day by the pool....and guys, if your woman doesn’t like beer, let her try this.....

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells like water with some stray hops thrown in. Tastes like water with some hints of citrus. Drink seltzer. More flavor.
