On draft at Flagstaff Brewing, where the selections were somewhat underpar from the norm. The pour was bright golden with a small white head. The aroma was grainy with light fruity elements. The flavor followed, not much to dig here, although it was fairly easy to drink.

Yikes and double yikes, this is one of the very few drain pours for me, I will pass on this one.

Bottle. Golden pour with a voluminous white head. Light honey notes in the aroma along with soft fruit and sweet malts. Touch of graininess as well. Taste is sweet malts, honey, lemony tartness, floral hops and soft spice. Body is medium but firm with bubbly carbonation. Finishes with more sweet malts, honey, light lemon, some yeast, floral hops and a touch of spice.

On draft at The Federal, Durham. Well I’d hoped this would prove sufficiently thirst-quenching on a very hot evening. It barely did even that. Looks like BMC on the pour, and it’s got almost nothing in the way of aroma - some light fruit perhaps. Body is average, carbonation medium. Other than a trace of pepper and the aforementioned fruit, this is really almost completely anonymous.

Aroma was light citrus fruity. Golden color and a small white head. Very malty and grainy with a citrus fruit quality to it. Some sweetness from the honey. Pretty light on the body. Very middle of the road beer with a lot to be desired.
