The appearance is pale gold with a medium head. The flavor is like the aroma but with a touch of citrus and a hint of soapy bitterness. The palate is thin but not to the point of being watery.

You know the beer without tasting it ... slightly floral, slightly metallic, and, at least for me, slightly disappointing. joeymacaroni (223), Wagontown, Pennsylvania, USA
