Sampled from draft at the Carolina Beer Company in the Charlotte airport during a layover at 9am in the morning. Clean attractive aroma. Typical pale yellow american lager appearance but it does have plenty of streaming carbonation within. Creamy thin head. Grassy hay and lite straw, not bad. Friendly and easy to drink. Nice session brew. Has a slightly dull finish but overall very enjoyable. No offensiveness at all.

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.

Yellow straw color with big foamy white head. Decent carbonation. Aroma is grainy, bready, and lemon. Taste is light, grainy, some hops, and lemon.

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.

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.

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.
