Commercial Description:
A straw colored fruity ale...highly fermentable dextrose gives a light body and quenching character to this dry hopped beer.

Draft; couldnt figure out what style it was while at the Sterling location. Gold in color. Flavor was similar to a cream ale, but a little more hops. Light bodied, but didnt find it to be creamy. Decent for the style, despite not hitting the style for me.

Light gold with little head. Nose quite soapy, a bit of lemon. Flavor is cheap with a few bready malts, very toasty at end, some mild fruit. Not pleasant.

Draft... Clear, yellow, lagered ale with a small, creamy, white head. Terrific, thick, stratus lacework. Nose is of white bread and butterscotch. Well-balanced, mild flavor. Great with food. Light to medium bitterness. Light-bodied, but creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes smooth and clean.

(Sterling) Lightly hazed straw body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, honey, cereal, lemon. Taste is the same, with some peach added. Light body, some crispness. Need to let warm given the frozen glass it is served in.

A pale yellow with a small white head. Light malt with little hops. Decent medium maltiness and some hops. Light body very crisp, drinkable. Drinkable but not the best.
