For a summer brew, this was fairly nice. Light with not much head, taste was sweet and light, but not overpowering. The finish was OK, but not something that made me think I needed more. For those hot days when you have a few bucks, this works well.

Sweet malty aroma on a light golden colored pour. Very very sweet flavor has strong hints of honey and is otherwise dominated by sugary malt flavors. Not very complex, though I hope nobody’s looking for much complexity here. For a lighter beer, this one isn’t all that bad (although it’ll get hammered on ratebeer like any other lighter beer) Honey flavor lingers long after the drink. Easy to take care of a few of these on a warm evening.

The pour is a clear yellow with a bright white frothy head that fades with the lacing a thin coating upon the glass. Nose has a decent malt presence, hints of honey; fresh and clean, start has an adequate grain presence, sweet with the top light. Finish has an acceptable acidity, the hops mild and the aftertaste overly sweet and long lasting, an average beer, nothing more, nothing less.

Tastes like someone dropped a giant glob of honey into my beer and then squeezed a lemon intop it, not very good at all!

Bottle from neighbors crappy collection. Golden pour with a citrus aroma. Thin in taste and a mild orange peel taste. EHH ok.

Very easy beer to drink, light in taste. One of my favorite summer beers. Nice, light hint of citrus.

Had this beer on 5/30/2007. Aroma is light and is like a basic Pilsner. Color is a bright gold with low carbonation and a tight white head. Taste is light and bland. Starting with a light body it goes down easy with a crisp feel. Finish comes in with a slightly sweet taste that leads into a flat malt like flavor and a very very faint bitterness. On the very end there is a mild after taste that is a bit honey like.
