3.9%abv. Pours golden with a decent shortlived head and no lacing. Aromas of biscuits peak my interest. Light nectar with superb carbonation. This brew is delightfully tasty with a defined biscuit essence. The finish is bittered mildly. It’s mild, fruity, and balanced. Well done.

Light gold color. Milder taste, light bodied, some malts with a slight hoppyness. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. A light and refreshing beer.

pours clear straw with a thin white head. wheaty, honey-like aroma, flavor is light and bready with a malty, slightly pungent aftertaste.

on tap @ the brewery. golden color bordering orange with a ring of white. coppery malt aroma is very mild. flavor is mostly pale malt with light lager yeastiness and metals. light to medium body. the carbonation creates a creaminess as it squeezes in my mouth. very bland

On tap at TCB - Pours a clear yellow color with a light head. Nice lacing on the way down. Has a faint grain aroma. Flavor has a light grain finish. This beer is smooth, light and easy to drink. Not bad.

Like many of TCB’s offerings, it’s on the light side. This one is supposed to be so, though. Also, like most TCBs, this one is nice and clean. Very good for a cream ale.

This beer sits a lightly hazy straw-gold color in my glass, it is topped by a thin, wispy pale head. The aroma is quite faint, but definitely beery; it is lightly herbal, and has a bit of thin malt to it (hops are most dominant in this ephemeral aroma). The taste has notes of sweet grain up front with a light herbal / spicy hop note in the middle through to the finish, which has a light bitterness to it. Overall this is thin, though slightly beery, and is spot on to style with a bit of fruitiness, but it is certainly not something that I will try again.

Very close to a pilsner this beer actually is rather bland in flavor and unimpressive.
