Pours a clear, light amber color and is topped by a frothy, initially two-finger thick, pale, tan tinted, white colored head. The aroma is a mix of light caramel malts and spicy hops. Notes of sweet citrus and light herbs intermingle with notes of toasty grain, hints of toffee and caramelized malt. Nice light aroma that strikes a good balance between hops and malt.
Toasty malt notes up front lead to tart citrus hop notes in the middle. The tartness caries through to the finish where it is joined by some more malty toasted grain notes. Quite easy drinking, the beer is quite light on the palate and really just flows down the throat. A light malt sweetness lingers on in the finish, but really this beer does not leave much of a lasting impression on my tastebuds. A light bitterness weaves its way throughout this beer, but at times is really not that noticeable. In the end this is a light, clean, easy drinking ale that I could easily pass up for something with a bit more character, but would certainly not turn my nose up at it given a macro alternative.

Sep 1, 2008 Draught. Light amber in color, smallish white foamy head. It has a light, fruity, fresh, hoppy aroma. The flavor notes are a fresh fruity malt character. It has a light body, with a zesty mouthfeel, and a clear and clean finish. Pretty good choice for the heat oif the summer.

Aug 26, 2008 Light amber color with thin head and slight malt aroma. Mild bitterness and little hop taste and mild malt profile. Not much going on, it’s thin on the tongue but basically refreshing.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Not so good. Watery mouthfull, lacking in depth, void of exciting or challenging flavour, no real finish to speak of. Quite an uneventful "restoration" this turned out to be.

Aug 25, 2008 12oz bottle 7/20/08-A light amber body with a small white head which emits an aroma of hops and citrus. The flavor is the same with a slight malt and cleanser taste. This light to medium bodied brew is not bad but nothing to write home about.
