ok beer light yellow color with faint aroma. this taste better than most of their other beers will not order this one again

On tap in Irvine, this beer didn’ have a lot going on for it. Not much flavor aroma, etc etc

On tap at the Vista Location. Pours with a clear, pale, golden body and a white head. Aroma of corn, grass, sweetness, and perfume. Flavors are dry, bready, corn, husky, and grassy. Dry with lively bubbles. Refreshing. A pretty well made cream ale.

A: The pour is a very pale yellow color with a few scattered bubbles on top. S: Plenty of vegetables on the nose. Both fresh corn and corn husks, rotting vegetable matter, and skunk. Some very mild grain aroma, oh joy. T: The taste of this is truly horrendous. Butter, creamed corn, more butter, drain cleaner, rotting food, garbage, and an indescribable funkiness. Quite the combination... M: The body is light and watery with a moderate carbonation. D: Wow, this is BAD. This is another one of those beers where there’s really nothing good to say. Stay away from this beer.

Clear golden color/ white head. Mild pale honey maly aromas. Light body, soft bubbles. Sour dough bread yeasty malty flavors with a mild sweetness to finish.

Clear light yellow with no head. Very faint malty aroma. Sweet malty taste with a slightly bready crisp finish.

On tap at Vista location. Color was a pale gold to yellow. Aroma of bread and grain. Flavor was bit too grainy for me and was more of a blonde ale than cream ale.

Sample at the Irvine brewpub. This brew is a clear pale gold color with a thin and fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. The aroma is lightly hoppy with some grainy malt. Light-bodied and effervescent with mild floral hops and malt flavors. The finish is lightly hoppy and spiced with a short lightly bitter aftertaste. Barely average overall.

on tap-pours a retaining thin white head that laces and pale yellow color. Aroma is mild lemon, grain. Taste is light body, crisp, lemon, grain, OK hint of ‘cream’. A lawnmower beer.
