Sampler at the brewpub. It poured a gold color with very little head. The aroma was minor. The flavor was mostly malt.

Tasted on tap at Augusta Brewing in Augusta, Missouri. Medium light yellow and a bit hazy appearance. Almost a sour honey aroma. Light and malty flavor with hints of honey.

Sampled at the brewpub. Clear golden pour with a hint of copper. Flavor is a nice malt, soft dry hops, and gentle citrus fruit. The hops grow more pronounced as the beer warms. For the style this was a nice beer.

Sample poured from a growler by the brewer. Pours a clear gold color with a small bone white head. Notes of grassy hops, straw, apricot, pale malts, and mild spices. Light-bodied, with mellow carbonation and a fresh, fruity mouthfeel. Nice take on the style.

On tap at Augusta Brewpub. Golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, mild corn and fruit. Taste of malt and corn. Lively and fizzy palate with a dry finish. Meh.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear pale golden color with columns of rising bubbles. Thin and fizzy white head that dissipates quickly, and stringy lacing. Lightly spiced hops and fresh fruit aroma. Light-bodied with mild hops and fruit flavors. The finish is clean and fruity with light malt and hops notes. Kind of a Pils/Kölsch hybrid, and average overall.

Hazy light golden color. Small off white head. Esters and glass cleaner aromas. Thought it may have actually been glass cleaner, but then the flavors translated straight to the flavors. Perhaps a bad tap or line. Compared the the other brews, this one misses the mark.
