Draft at brewpub. Clear amber color with a moderate frothy white head that diminished slowly. Light sweet aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture. Light sweet citrus flavor with a short finish.

Pours golden, minimal white head. Flavor is bready and citrusy, a little tart. Finish is slightly bitter and dry. This might be ideal for a hot summer day after mowing the lawn.

(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with OhioDad, thanks Scott!) Let me cover the good points of this beer first. The clarity on this beer is very impressive; I can read the logo through the beer without even the slightest blur from haze. And so therefore, the steady rise of carbonation bubbles is plainly visible and makes for an attractive beer. The whitish head rises to the rim of the glass before settling to a ring. Unfortunately, things go down hill fast. Not only is the aroma not enticing, it’s nearly effective as a repellent. Honestly, this beer smells like stinky socks, with grain and some perfume fighting through as well. The flavor is only marginally better because it doesn’t taste like stinky socks, but it is quite grainy from start to finish, and it’s not an especially pleasant graininess either. Slight sweetness early, but that seems to fade by the finish where the grain really takes control. Bitterness is very slight. Body is light-medium but doesn’t stimulate the palate. Not a good brew at all.

12 oz bottle pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is slightly floral. Taste is light grains and lots of lemon. The first sip I thought tasted like dish soap but it does grow on you later into the bottle. On the palate this is light and definitely a summer beer. Definitely not CBC’s best brew.

Yellow color clearly; lightly veiled and much bubbly. Decided, attractive scent. Green apple aroma and wheat, intriguer. Round taste but not too much light. Fresh and of optimal duration with a sweetish end. Unusual.
