A lighter ale brewed with very select pale malts and mildly flavored with a blend of special hops. This beer is exceptionally smooth, crisp and very drinkable with a rich gold color.

12 oz. bottle via trade with tronraner - Pours a clear light golden color with a medium size white head. Light carbonation. No lacing. The aroma is slightly skunky with a hint of grain. I dont mind the skunk, but I dont think its cool for this style of beer. Flavor is lightly sweetened grain and herbal hops. Light to medium body. A decent beer. Thanks Joe.

mwelsh13 (499) - Maryland, USA - DEC 9, 2008
12 oz can pours straw, golden yellow with a one finger head. Tart fruit in the aroma, like apricots or figs. Mild hop bitterness/dryness with a light body. A bit of honey like flavor with a nice aftertaste. Seems too light on the tongue even for the style. Would be a nice lawnmower beer, instead of BMC. I do have to say that the can in was packed in kicked a$$. It was a 12oz can but was skinny like a Red Bull can with a slick black paint job and the name in the form of their trademark lighthouse design. Nice packaging for a middle of the road beer.

Pours a very light golden color with very little head - aroma of slight fruit and grass - very bland taste and nothing lingers what-so-ever. Lots of good beers being made in NC these days - this isn’t one of them.

Good and tasty, light and airy. Pretty good for a hot Carolina day. Slight sweetness, light beer taste.

sirpsycho (393) - Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 9, 2008
Draft at The Old Oyster Factory (Hilton Head). Pours a pale yellow, almost non-existent head. Aroma is very vague malt, not much else. Flavor is a light malt, touch of hops, barely there. Very commercial tasting.

rampmaster (643) - Alden, New York, USA - SEP 10, 2008
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It has a pale straw yellow color with good clarity and visible carbonation. The head is thin, bright white and foamy. It quickly fades leaving little to no lace behind. Smell: The aroma is mild and has hints of light malty grains and husky notes. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor is simple crisp and clean. Light malty grains give it a slightly sweet character with a touch of citrus and leafy/herbal hops. Its light body, fairly thin texture and crisp finish make it easy to drink. Notes: Overall it’s an easy drinking beer with a good clean favor but it’s not a stand out.

lithy (2913) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 5, 2008
Barely cloudy yellow color with a quickly dissipating white head. Sort of corny aroma. Taste is crisp and lagery with a slight bitterness. Not much going on.
