Light gold. Nose is grains, hints of fruity (pineapple) hops. Grainy taste, slight tartness, hint of breadiness. Off-dry finish. Quick, sweetish.

Pint on tap while at the brewpub pours a pale golden color with a small white head that leaves a few spots of lacing. Aroma is grainy with a bit of hops on the nose. Taste is slightly grainy with a much more noticeable hoppy bitterness than the nose suggests. This brew is decently balanced with light to medium body and decent carbonation. Very refreshing and flavourful for a blonde ale.

355 ml can courtesy of Yogibeera: clear honey yellow with a foamy white head which vanishes almost instantly. Sweet citrusy aroma and taste, honey and tart lemon, silky mouthfeel, softly carbed, light bitter finish. Very Lagerboy friendly, I enjoyed this!

I thoroughly enjoyed this beer when considering it within it’s style. For a Pale Lager the hops were pleasantly detectable. Clean and crisp this was a nice brew for the patio.

On tap. Ultra pale yellow with a cream white head. Ok aroma with light weak hops and grain - not much here at all. Flavours of orange, lemon, dry wheat, dry leaves. Nice bitterness for 14 IBU. Needs a lot more. Standard brew pub beer that lacks interest.

Every bar needs a plain yellow beer. This one does have some hops and a good body. Bright yellow. Creamy head. Thin grassy hop aroma. Drinkable clean lager.
