Pours out a nice golden color with big white head. Not a lot of aroma, except for some faint citrus. Nice smooth drink, no bitterness with a good clean finish. Not extreme, but a nice warm weather beer.

Light golden color with decent sized head. Firm bready character of hops keep balance in a light subtle-citrus, slighlty-herby but watery brew. Not bad for what it is, quenching and good for summer.

pours gold with minimal lacing. citrus aroma. light grain, hop,& citrus flavors. somewhat complex but rather borng...

Pours a clear, straw gold color with a thin white head. Smells of mild citrus, and very light cinnamon sweetness. A little grain as well. Boring aroma. The taste is a skunky tasting, pretty grainy, and with no excitable qualities whatsoever. I guess there is some very light citrus flavors as well, but pretty much tastes like a pale lager to me.

Have had this beer bottled and on tap in Athens. It is a nice beer to drink while kicking back and relaxing with friends. Nothing too complex. I am not a huge cream ale fan, but this one I do enjoy while kicking back and watching a ball game. A good beer to introduce your friends who are still stuck in American macro hell to.

Hazy, pale body with a small, fizzy white head that quickly fades. The aroma is corny, bread and light citrus. The flavor is lightly sweet, corn, citrus and cotton candy. Medium/light body is soft with light carbonation.

clear golden color with average white head. citrus aroma with a slightly acidic taste. The flavor is short lasting.
