Gold Body, thin white head. Aroma is honey, pale malts, light caramel. Taste is honey and caramel, a bit doughy, with light hop content.

Bottle; nose is grainy and breadywith a tiny hop note; semi hazed gold with a small white head; sweet whaet flavor with only a tiny bit of hops in the finish! My wife’s grandmother lived on Cayucos Beach until she passed, I was hoping for a better tribute beer to toast in her honor!

golden body with a little white head.aroma is wheat,allspice,and maybe a bit of hops.flavor is much of the same with a light lager type finish.easy drinkin’ for sure...

Gold, thin head, light lacing. Nose of light sweet malt, some floral hops. A sweet malty flavor, nice balance, still lacking a good clean character. Malty finish, needs more body and hops.

Pours a cloudy orange from the bottle (not really an amber color at all). Thin head, no lacing to speak of. Good crisp carbonation. Strong hop flavor (bitter and biting), but not overpowering. Nice hop aroma as well. This seems more like a pale ale than an IPA or APA. It doesn’t tip the hop balance in either of those directions.

A touch on the malty side, even somewhat nutty, some decent apricot fruitiness, but overall pretty dull and disapoointing, with the hops hardly making an appearance, only as an afterthought.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with a decent albeit short-lived white head. Light scents of hops on the nose. Flavors are somewhat sweet with fruit in the background. Very pleasent, not overbearing. Definately a session and/or lawnmower brew. Not very full bodied, but light and refreshing.
