Pours a three finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer, leaving traces of lace. Crystal clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Nose is too vague to describe. Flavor is light hay with hops. Would make a good lawnmower beer. $1.85 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Spare head, average lacing, clear light amber. Good, citrusy hops aroma. Light body, moderate sweetness, light bitter finish. A good session beer.

Draft at the Tap- Gold, creamy white head. Soft fresh fruity and grassy tones sit on just a hint of spice. Grassy flavors balance on touches of spice and tropical fruit. Light bodied, soft carbonation, crisp fruity finish. Did I drink the same beer as everyone else? This beer was very well done for a cream ale. Perfect to pair up with some good pub grub...

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy golden color with a small sized head. Grains dominate the aromas with some underlying fruitiness and corn. Tastes of grains, wet hay, and corn. Thinner body.

The Tap labels this one a hybrid ale/lager, and from a process and ingredient standpoint, it may be. However, based on the finished product, it is more in line with a typical American lager. It pours a medium yellow color with a white, fizzy, medium sized head with fair lacing. Clear, crisp body. Aroma is of light bread malts. Initial taste is a faint, light sweet with a light, bitter finish with average duration. Light bodied, it has soft carbonation with a watery texture. My last sip garnered an unsalted, buttered popcorn taste. Amber felt that the aroma reminded her of a barn floor. Reviewed on January 9th, 2007.

Herbal, grassy, floral hop nose. Very clear, pale, golden coloured body is topped by a creamy white head with fine-bubbled carbonation. Fair hop flavour (grassy, grapefruit, floral) with plenty of tropical fruitiness and a fair bitterness. Grainy in the aftertaste. Light body with moderate carbonation that prickles the tongue. Sampled at the brewpub with ClarkVV, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.
