Very thin taste. Pale yellow color with no head. Not very impressed with this one. No balance whatsoever.

(Bottle, courtesy of travita) Pours a clear yellow body with a spare white ring of bubbles. Aroma of grain, grass, and wet husks. Flavor of hops (grass), grain, and some caramel malt with a hint of metallic in the finish.

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.

Bottle. I was traveling through North Carolina and picked this up wanting to check out some good local brew. A) It’s a crappy beer; B) it’s not even local (the bottle says "bottled in Wilkes-Barre, PA"). Pours light yellow with a medium, frothy head. Aroma and flavor are thin and bad: overly grainy, with lots of fake lemon and a weird sour skunkiness. Nearly undrinkable; bland would have been better.
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
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.

This somewhat boring brew smells like yeast and flour. That’s the best thing about it. It looks like Budweiser--no head--and tastes bland, with a hint of lemon and cheap malt.

Blah. Only slightly more flavorful than water. Looked good but lacked taste.

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.

On tap at A.W Shucks, Charleston. Golden color, no head. lots of fizz. flow like a mineral water. aroma of lemons might be from the wedge on the edge of my glass. BORING...
