translucent gold with just a ring of bubbles, medium body with medium-high carbonation.
aroma: peppery cascade-citrus hop aromatics, a bit of caramel malt sweetness. clean and pleasant.
taste: toffee malt sweetness, sweet orange, some leafy hop bitterness, a hint of astringent grain hunk, and another slightly odd note i can’t quite pin down.

Bottle. Pours a yellowish color with a small white head. Aroma of pale malts with a hint of honey and some light hops. Flavor is pretty dull. Mostly sweet, light malts, a little honey and some faint hops. Drinkable at best.

Poured from bottle into snifter glass on Anheuser Busch Brewmaster tour. Golden color with medium white head. Thin-bodied, metallic, and overly carbonated as typical with Anheuser Busch products, but I will acknowledge some ale yeast esters and improved hops aroma. Definitely better than Bud. I don’t get the marketing angle, though, the cheesy name and graphics. What’s the target market here?

Had on a hot summer day at the ballpark...just about the only way I’d have this again. Just a boring beer.

Draught at MacGregors. Had no idea that this was from AB, but it makes sense. Clear gold with a low head. Malty aroma of buttered peaches. Fruity, buttery sweet malt flavor with honey and a slight tart edge. Lightly bitter finish. Very fruity and quite sweet. Not very interesting.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
A: The beer pours a golden straw color with a small and short lived white head.
S: Matching the appearance of the beer, this one smells strongly of straw. There is a light bread not as well as a healthy dose of corn. Mild yeast and some light, fruity esters.
T: The flavor offers up some pale malts to go along with the straw and grass. There is a light hop bitterness to it. Some apple and corn give it more sweetness.
M: Light in body with a medium level of carbonation.
O: Surfs up, brah.

Bottled@Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, nectar, wood and mild honey as well as some mild hoppyness. Flavour is sweet malts, mild hops and some grassyness. Yet a slight swill feeling to it.
