Not terrible but far from great. Tastes like a light beer but with all the calories.

Pale to golden straw coloration, standard for a golden/blonde ale. Aroma consists of cereal grains with light malt and fruit notes. The flavor is slightly bitter and more malty than anticipated. The palate is somewhat dry.

On tap during the annual Boston/Salem/Marble head tour. Tasted at Salem (Called seven gables) Copper bronze pour thin and watery. I was not too thrilled nor was the rest of the group. Very little charecteristics.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear pale gold color with a white head. Smelled of grass and pale malt. Light to medium bodied with hints of caramel, honey, and nondescript fruit. Not unpleasant.

Chrystal clear golden, medium carbonation, sweet malt aroma and flavor, medium body.

on tap-pours a disappearing white head and yellow color. Aroma is medium malt/grain, secondary funky fruit. Taste is medium malt/grain, secondary funky fruit, hint of hops. Mild carbonation.

On tap at Fenway--Golden slightly copper body with a miniscule but present head. Well carbonated. Small bready floral nose. Somewhat yeasty and grainy. Finished a little watery and weak, but a very sessionable brew.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub on Canal Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Clear, golden yellow pour with a wispy white head, some sweetness and grassy hoppiness but not much nose, and the flavor is suitably bland. This is rapidly becoming my least favorite style.
