Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), lightly yeasty (dough), with notes of plastic, Bit-o-Honey candy, metal shavings, and random chemicals. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Unclean in both aroma and flavor. Gold at GABF last year, eh? No comment.

Gold color with small white head. Aroma and flavor were light but still okay. Honey was nice addition to citric flavors.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear golden color. Head was fluffy, white, and left some lace behind. Light fruity aroma, maybe apricot, with some subdued cereal grain in the background. As it warmed a whiff of honey and cinnamon came out. Sweet on the tongue. Tasted of cinnamon roll, vanilla frosting, and yeasty bread dough. Strange beer with a bit too much going on.

pours a slightly orange gold with a white head, citrus aroma with hay. slick body and crisp bubbles. tastes of honey, citrus, and cream. overly sweet and a certain artificial quality to it

Pours golden with a white head. Has a light wheat aroma but little in the way of any other spices. Flavor is light and crisp with some orange and wheat. Slight sweetness on the palate.

(From a bottle) Golden color, okay head that doesn’t last. A bit on the fizzy side with light mouthfeel, this summer ale tastes sweet and is kind of refreshing. I rate this as an average beer, certainly better than most other Coors products.

bottle: Way too sweet. What is the purpose of this? Tastes artificial, almost like it’s doing harm to my body. Nasty. Like a Frankenstein Coors experiment gone horribly awry.
