Bottled. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is hops, paper and some slight nutty notes. Flavour is caramel, malts, grass and not very much other stuff. Drinkable and refreshing, but that’s about it.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a nice gold (surprise!) with a decent white head. Mild sweet aroma of florals, malt, and citrus. Taste is malt, caramel, florals, citrus, and a bit of hops. Easy to drink. Simple but enjoyable.

rondphoto (612) - Lakeside Park, Kentucky, USA - FEB 2, 2012
Clear old gold color with a nice 1/2" rocky head and good lacing. Taste is light sweet malt (not a stampede of flavor at all!) with a carbonated finish. No movement during the swallow. Very one-note. I can’t say it’s bad, because there isn’t enough taste to judge clearly one way or the other. Not a keeper

arminjewell (3107) - Parker, Colorado, USA - NOV 17, 2011
Pour is clear yellow with white head, aroma has notes of grain, some biscuit, grass, slight earth. Taste is some slight grain and grass, hints of sweet biscuit, finishes slightly bitter. Not bad, but not a ton going for it.

womencantsail (3927) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - OCT 2, 2011
A: The pour is a very pale gold color with a thin white head. S: Doesn’t really smell like much at all. Very light malt and hop aromas, maybe a bit of straw and bread. Just a bit of cereal sweetness to it. T: Somewhat sweet, but also a very mild flavor. Some bread notes and a bit of floral hops and straw, very mild fruit esters. A bit watery and bland. M: Light bodied with a medium carbonation. O: Not much to say about this other than it is bland and uninteresting.

durhambeer (2096) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - JUL 20, 2011
On tap at Turley’s in Boulder. Pours boring golden without much head. Nose and taste are grainy and sweet. Nothing exciting here. Drank about 3/4 of my pint.

rougeau13 (1216) - Texas, USA - APR 19, 2011
Clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of caramel and bread. Taste is slightly sweet, bready malt with a minute touch of hops. Medium-thin bodied with moderate carbonation. Decent for a lighter style of beer, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Bottle. Pours a typical golden body with a thin whtie head. Aromatically bready, light caramel, hint of pb, a bit metallic and grainy. Pretty dull, below average really. Malty cereal notes, lame earth hop tones. Eh.
