Clear golden with thin head. Overly sweet for me, and non-existent hops. Wheat comes through more than a hint. Nice and light for a session beer, but not much to get excited about.

9/4/07 On draught at the brewery. Aroma is sweet, slightly grainy malt forward with caramel and light candy notes. Appearance is clear yellow with a moderate white head. Flavor is bubblegum sweet malt with a true sugar note and low hop citrus. Mouthfeel is a little odd, with an odd graint/low carb texture on the tongue and a sweet finish. Overall, too candilike, but good and drinkable.

On tap at the brewery.

Pours a light blond with a reasonable white head. The aroma offers a bit of lemon, a bit of grassy hops, but otherwise not a whole lot of action. The flavor follows similarly: light and laid back, some lemon, relatively hoppy for the style, certainly crisp enough.

But in the end, this is a lackluster example of a style that seems to attract lackluster examples.

(Draft: Big Time Brewery and Alehouse in Seattle, WA) Dry, grainy nose seems less sweet than the flavor, but just as generic. Actually, there’s a funky, stinky feet nose too, so that’s a bit of a distraction. It’s mildly sweet and somewhat grainy in flavor, pretty bland overall. Light bodied. Standard straw color, clear in appearance, with a small white head that fades quickly to the tiniest of rings. Blah beer, subpar for the style to me, but probably meant for the nearby college chicks.
