COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - AUG 4, 2008
Charlotte airport, draught. Extra pale straw color with small head, off-white fizz and lots of bubbles. Bland grainy aroma is clean and boring as a wallflower. Mouthfeel is sweet and sticky and fizzy too. Tastes unpleasantly sweet with touch of tang. Needs more hops to balance it out. Watery, flavorless.

BrewCzar (108) - St Louis, Missouri, USA - JUL 25, 2008
Pours clear golden in color. Small white head with decent lacing. Very carbonated. Grainy aromas with notes of lemon and malts . Tastes of bread yeasts, spices, malts, very little hops.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 1, 2008
Draught, Charlotte Airport
Pale straw colour. Not much nose - slighty fruity. Really husky, and sticky sweet. Lots of fruity esters, but no hops for them to play with. Too sweet. Major conceptual problems.

kiefdog (1826) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUN 29, 2008
Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. Generally light yellow in color with a very thin white head that dissipates to nothing. Aroma is faint with maybe some wheat and spices. Little fruitiness on tasting, but not many flavors came through. Generally watery mouthfeel with quick finish.

MaltDawg (1344) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - JUN 12, 2008
12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden with a small white head, almost no apparent carbonation. Light spiceyness in the aroma along with some fruit notes. Light fruityness in the flavor along with a bit of spice and some light caramel malts. Mouthfeel is medium with light carbonation. Finish is slightly sweet. Quite drinkable. Bottle says a pilsner style but i think really too malt accentuated and not enough nobel hop character for a pilsner.

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 4, 2008
pours almost a clear golden body with a medium sized white head. lots of carbonation and a mildly grassy aroma. basically the only thing i could smell out of it. decent beer, like many said- nice example of a pilsner.

Optigon (562) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - MAY 20, 2008
Pours gold with a fine, minor head. Aroma is caramelly sweet with a strong malt presence. Sweet pear-like flavor with strong qualities of caramel and a fair hop aftertaste.

brew4fun (208) - West Virginia, USA - MAY 19, 2008
Pours clear golden, slowly dissapating 1 finger head, traces of lacing. Aroma is lightly malty. Tastes very crisp and clean. Light malt balanced by hop bitterness. Easy going down, refreshing, great lawnmower brew.
