Bottle. Medium yellow body with a frothy white head that disappears slowly. Malty aroma of grain and biscuit with hints of orange and honey. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, bitter and acidic. Light to medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Not near as crisp and clean as its marketing would have you believe.

Bottled. A pale golden beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw, metal, and malt. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt as well brewing cereal, and a touch of fruit, leading to a lightly bitter finish..

Straight from the bottle. Sluggin it while sitting by the fire. Watery with a hint of lemon flavor. You’ve out done yourself coors!

2009 Bottle. Aroma of light wheatiness, mostly acidic fruitiness, like oranges. Pours light hazy yellow with a surprising head. Tastes similar to Blue Moon...hazy, yeasty, unfiltered, yet it has the crispness of a summer ale. Not the best mix of flavors in my opinion and a bit watery, but refreshing nonetheless.

Bottle: Pours slightly hazy, straw yellow color with a thin sparkling white head that disappears pretty quickly. Lots of honey in the flavor with some sweet citrus. Well carbonated. A little too sweet for my taste but its an ok change of pace on a hot day.
