Pours orange and yellow with a small white head. Nose smells like honey. Label claims floral notes, I detect none. Taste is sweet, if I try real hard, I can get a faint bitter taste, but not enough to make this beer balanced. Mouthfeel is soft and velvet, probably the only thing I really like about this beer.

From the mix pack. Tastes different than the first two of these I tried. Better even. A medium golden brew. Decent carbonation. Light malty aromas. Flavor is less sweet than the other two. Clean drinking. Honey like finish.

adnielsen (3108) - Denver, Colorado, USA - SEP 15, 2011
Bottle courtesy of my brother Justin. Thanks! Clear golden orange appearance with a white head. Grassy hoppy, bland pale malty nose. Sweet pale malty, lightly grassy-organic hoppy flavor. Pretty boring beer but there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with it.

Didn’t like at frist. Strong initial impressions from this darker lager looking thing. Smell was a little clean & sterile. Somewhat bitter and lager hop starting off but it gets more acceptable as the session continues. Some co2. Grows even more mild on the finish. Aromatic efffect on the olfactory as the last sips go down my throat. really grows on you; finishes nicely; the evoloution of the session tells a story!

WabashMan (924) - Noblesville, Indiana, USA - AUG 28, 2011
Pours a medium/dark orange with off white head. Nose of malt with spice and apple. Flavors are similar to the nose, with an apple and citrus character. All in all, the flavors are good, but would be better if stronger and longer lasting on the palate.

Pours a translucent gold with one to two fingers of offwhite head. Nose is cidery and apple-y for sure. Seems pretty citrusy and spicy. Zesty and a tad grassy. This is very interesting and pleasant, not at all what I expected. I actually enjoyed this one.
