Bottle - Light gold with foam head and some light lacing. Grassy and malts with some floral fruit note. Medium body and muddled hops. Middle of the road with nothing really outstanding.

Yellow pour. Grainy, malty, bready and light hop aroma. Pale hops and grainy as hell. Not enjoyable for me.

On tap at the Matunuck Oyster Bar - Matunuck, RI. Fresh grassy malt aroma, with some light alcohol esters. Pourings a shining, bubbly bright yellow golden, with a clean, soft lacy white head. Flavor is very clean and quaffable. Bright clean malt sugars, singular, meet with a brisk hay and resin hop character. A nicely complementing English yeast character joins in. This is very snappy, bright and fresh. Good carbonation, cleanliness and brightness make this impressively quaffable. Finishes dry on hops and clean on a bit of alcohol. A really thirst-quenching, palatable beer.

Bottle courtesy of Cletus. Pours hazy golden with fluffy and tenacious white head. Nose a little off, but mostly light hops and some corny notes. Mild malts and some floral presence. Understated, but nice. Very different from their "Traditional Pale Ale." Not bad at all.

Draft @ West in West Roxbury. Pours a clear peachish color with a tiny white fizzy head. Nose is light grain and hints of fruity hops like apricot. Palate is thin, fizzy, with a filmy touch. Flavors of light apricots and hay, with some grass notes and a light yeasty note.

This was the beer that got me into good beer when I was 17. Light amber color with a medium off-white head and stringy lacing. Malt and some floral hops in the nose. Medium body with mild bitterness, sweet malt and hops along with a bit of fruit flavoring.

Brewed in the USA..... Courtesy of Nicole & Mike, thanks !! Pours a yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma of malts, grains, bread and orange peels. Once again the taste is much of the same. Mouthfeel is medium in body, kind of thin with some bitterness at the finish. Overall, kind of boring !!!
