Clean and crisp, but not much here otherwise. Not something I would try again.

Part of the sampler tray at the brewery. Laclustre golden ale. Would not be trying this again

Draft @ brewery. Cereal grains on the nose. Pours clear blonde. Cereal grains and hay flavorl, very light.

Tap at brewpub. Light yellow pour. Light grain aroma. Taste is light malty and crisp, with a touch of hops. OK.

On tap at the brewpub. Pale yellow color with no head. Faint aroma of yeast and grains. The flavor is watery with some corn and a grainy finish. Not much going on here.

Medium golden color little or no head or lacing. No noticable aroma really, bland sort of light malt and touch of hops. Certainly not a standout, the primary feature was it was cold.

Clear golden color/ fleeting head. Mild honey biscuit malty aromas. Light grainy cracker malt flavors. Crisp clean finish.

On tap. Pours with a clear golden body and no real head. Aroma of corn, and light noble hops. Taste is a little harsh up front with corn and straw. Husky. Light fruit notes. Thin and fizzy.

Pours very pale, no real lasting head. Clean, dry, easy session drinking. That is the name of the game here, and as far as crisp pale lagers go, this isn’t all that bad. The alcohol even feels less substantial than the already-modest 4.5%!

Clear moderate golden color. Slightly fruity (apricot) hoppy aroma; light, slightly stale maltiness. Subtle toasty maltiness in flavor, fruity hoppiness continues. Very clean finish, light bitterness.

Draft: Golden colored pour with little head. Spicy, hoppy nose to it with a crisp malty finish. This wasn’t too bad.
