Commercial Description:
This very light, refreshing fruity Ale has a golden color and rich malty complexity that only old-world brewing can produce. Slightly hopped for flavor it’s a perfect beer for easy drinking.

this was a waste of money. Why would I pay $4.50 for this when I could get a black bavarian? Or for that matter even Lakefront’s cattail ale (which also sucked). I suppose, I’ll keep in mind that it is 90 degrees with 90% humidity on the lake here (gotta love summerfest!). I guess they had to do something to cater to the southeastern Wisconsinites who grew up on miller products. It’s light in color, in flavor, in body, in imagination. A cream ale doesn’t have to be unimaginitive. try a Lagunitas sirius or a Pelican Kiwanda.

Pours pale yellow with thin head. Aroma of mild esters and light hopping. Virtually no malt character or flavor in general. Blah. Would rather have a domestic light lager instead.

Had on tap at the brewpub after a tour of the place. Better than your average American macro, I guess, but far from special.

Bottle. Pours a copper body with a fizzy white head. Toasted malt, Hints of dried fruit and raisin like aroma. Almost a light candy bubblegum aroma. Flavor is a bit gummy with cereal notes, best when served rather cold. Hints of fruit and a note of soap i could do without. Not bad, i thought it might be a drain pour for a buck seventy five.

Usually not one for blonde ales, but it was still refreshing. Clear bright golden, thin white head. Mouthfeel is light (duh) and hops definately around. Aroma is hoppy, taste is a little fruity.

Definitely more malt character than I expected. Had a slight hop character in the flavor but finished with mostly corn. Not a bad light beer but again, not a good beer. Not worth another purchase.

Bottle into English pint glass. Pours a translucent golden-tan with a thick, carbonated head. Aroma is sweetness and unenthusiastic hops. Flavor is some sweet maltiness, some additional sweetness that I can’t quite place, and stale grains. The palte is dry and thin. Overall, it’s a light beer, so I think it deserves some credit for exceeding that company. It does not, however, need too much credit as a golden or blond ale. Someday someone will give me a good reason for NA’s and light beers, but that day hasn’t yet come.

Bottle from brewery. Clear light amber with large white head. Light caramel malt and graininess, crisp and dry. Grainy flavor up front with a caramel like sweetness and finishes dry with banana and subtle sprite undertones. Medium to light body that is hotly carbonated upfront and finishes thin and watery. Not as bad as some light beers maybe but all that enjoyable nor refreshing.

Bottle 500 ml
Appearance: Straight golden ale with smallish fractional top.
Nose : Snappy, crisp malty nose, hint of honey malt. Overall quiet light.
Flavor/Palate : Thin bodied , grainy character with some stickiness at finish. Lacking freshness and clean execution. Bland, lacking refinement. Brewing such light, gentle beer its mot easy task.
