Pours orange with a spotty white lacy head. Aroma of wheat bread, pepper, grass, lemon and orange. Tastes of bread and grass with something tangy about the flavor and the way it lays on the tongue, but it’s not citrusy really. The finish is toasty and has more citrus flavors. Really drinkable, easy going and light. Hits the tongue in a really mild way. Not bad.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber color. Mild hoppy aroma, nicely balanced with sweet malts. Flavor is the same... mild, balanced. I actually had this on tap last week, and it was more flavorful and fresh... It’s not a huge beer, but it’s good and very drinkable.

12oz bottle. Pours clear, filtered, pale golden with a small bubbly white head that disappears quickly. Aroma is very biscuity with a light touch of sweet malts. Taste is lightly bitter, smooth, malty, kind of tasteless but not in a bad way, if that makes sense. Light to medium bodied. Short finish. This would be a nice session beer. Not very flavorful or anything but a nice easy drinking brew.

A very good American micro-brew. If you can find it on tap even better. It’s a good outdoors beer.

Medium amber with little head. Moderately hoppy with some cloying sweetness. Pretty drinkable but nothing amazing. Good session beer.

Good dark yellow/orange pour with a white head. Very hoppy aroma with citrus notes. Nice citrus taste with hop bitterness that lingers. Very nice beer.
