Draft. A pale golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of grass, while the flavor is sweet - somewhat artificially, with primary notes of malt. The body is thin.

Draught, Wynkoop. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is light amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, cookie, caramel), lightly hoppy (flowers, apricot), with a note of diacetyl. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Promising, but the diacetyl is a bit too strong for my tastes.
