Pours a golden color with some orange in there and a thin white head. The aroma is mostly bready with just a little fruitiness. The flavor is bready malts with soft sweet caramel, a little bit of honey, and a very mild hop finish. A bit thin. Not something I’ll likely go out of my way to re-vist but this isn’t a bad beer and would be a wonderful swill replacement.

Pours a dark straw color body with a lasting ring of white head. Aromas of grain and malt. Flavor is the same. Finish is malty but clean.

Tastes kind of salty and wheaty, but crisp and clean. I imagine it would be a good thirst quencher ice cold, as the description states.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright golden color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was sour, tangy, yeasty and slightly corny. The flavor was sour, tangy, yeasty and corny with a short tangy finish. I should also note that I tried the draft and found it to be absolutely disgusting. Ok.

On tap @ Map Room. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma of grains and a touch of hops. Easy to drink and refreshing, but not a whole lot going on here.

Pours a translucent gold with a frothy white head. The nose was sweet, corny, some diacetyl, bland. The flavor was crisp and sweet, had a mild hop bite. Easy to drink but not satisfying.

12oz bottle. Pours a yellow golden color with a slight haze, with a one finger dense head that dissipates slowly. Very mild aroma of wheat and yeast with a touch of spice. Taste is bready, wheat malt, with a slight tang from the yeast on the finish. Light to medium in mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation.

Very mild malt aroma. Clear golden color with a very small white head. Sweet beginning that slowly fades in the finish.
