Sample at the brewpub. Served with an orange, this beer pours a clear pale yellow color with a thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing. Light spice and citrus aroma. Light-bodied and mildly zesty with spice and citrus flavors along with some sweet malt. The finish is lightly spiced with a bit of citrus aftertaste. Average overall.

Draught at the brewpub, as Springfest Ale
Blond color. The aroma is a bit perfumy, citrusy, flowery. Medium body, with a light Bourbon vanilla touch over a Lager-like beer. Odd.

Part of my sampler tray. It was labelled "Seasonal #1", so I had to ask what it was and was surprised to find it a "Springfest Lager" when we were at the very end of summer! Anyway, clear light golden yellow. Faintly fruity, clean grains, crisp finish. Before seeing this on the website I pegged it as a slightly fruity version of a pale lager, almost Kolsch-like, but less assertive. Maybe my palate is worn out at this stage!

dark yellow, thin white head, light citrus orange aroma (from the orange slice?), nice light malt flavor with a good deal of orange character, touch of sweetness, light spicy essence, missing the wheat, a cross between a wit and a lager?

Well this has a lot of orange in aroma and first taste. Flavor is just too fruity/wheaty for me. Another eh beer from these guys.
