Draft. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aorma has only light notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with light ntoes of metal and malt, leading to a lightly bitter finish. In every aspect LIGHT - and thus I find it boring.

(On tap) Clear, pale golden with a small, white head leaving laces. Sweetish aroma of malts. Medium body with lightly sweet malt. Basically no bitterness. 270307

From at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden yello with a small whit head. Light cornish and fruity hops aroma. Flavour is bitter, vague malt body and mild fruity. Ends light and bitter.

On tap at the brewpub. Pleasantly surprised by this one. Pours with a crystal clear pale yellow hued body with a minimal white head. Aromas of grass, corn, hay, grainy aroma. Pils malt, a bit sulfury with light esters. Flavors are grainy, a bit bready and biscuity, light sulfur, and a carbonic bite. Hint of metal. Light, herbal and hoppy, grassy. Mostly malt. Watery, bland, and light with a mineral character. Lively, thin and dry. Thirst quenching. Bland but nothing really off about it.

Sampled at the brewpub on 7/10/2009. This light beer/pale lager pours a light gold color from the tap. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal and grainy. Medium bodied Pale Lager. The malts are cereal and grainy. The hops are spicy and earthy. Good carbonation. Nice balance. Has some taste for a light beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Tap at the brewpub. The body was pale gold with a white head. The aroma was bready with some potatoes and grass. The taste was grassy hay. Not much else. Decent for a lighter golden ale.
