A milky white/hazy yellow color with a pale and long lasting head. Taste of sweet and fruity. Heavier mouth feel than you would expect.

Holy. This one came out of nowhere and slapped me in the face for a wake up call. Im liking this beer a lot granted partly due to not so high expectations. The nose has this creaminess to it that is hard to pin point. Its like this mild vanilla ice cream aroma. The same creaminess is present in the taste aswell. This beer is refreshingly crisp and it looks the part. EXCELLENT Summer time brew. I love it!

Pours like a summer ale should, but I expected a bit more on the nose. Flavor of a typical summer ale, malty with a strong honey punch that lives up to the name. Spicy, citrusy. However, this beer is crippled by a biting, stinging carbonation. Way too much carbonation in this beer kills mouthfeel and puts the flavor in the backseat.

Light amber, citrus, slight malt, hint of honey, smooth, hoppy, spice. It goes down easy.

12oz bottle, pours a cloudy golden/amber with frothy white head. Aroma of wheat and orange peel. Taste is malty, with orange and wheat. Mouthfeel is smooth and a bit creamy, with medium carbonation. Nothing outstanding, but a good refreshing summer beer.

12 oz bottle via Roth’s. Pours a clear amber with a large white head. Nose is malt and corn. Taste is toasty, bready with some mild spice, subtle honey and a some citrus. Just what you want and expect from a refreshing easy to drink bqackyard summer beer. Good for what it is. Body is light/medium, carbonation is just right. Wasn’t expecting to like or finish this bottle. I do and i will.

Clear, light color with nice head. Good fruity smell. Smooth flavor which almost could be mistaken for a lager. A good lawnmower brew, but not much more. Little to no aftertaste.
