A good session beer on tap. Nice bitter and malty balance. I can see drinking a couple of these on any given day.

On tap at the brewery, nice simple beer, almost like a German pilsener, very light and crisp.

Draught at Lowry Beer Garden on October 15, 2012
Hazy golden to amber color, white to off-white head. Sweet, malty, fruity taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness. SWeet, grainy scent.

UPDATED: SEP 8, 2012 On tap at Brew at the Zoo. Pour is pale straw with a bright white head. Straw, grain, light corn, grass, and hops in the aroma. Taste is light grass, straw, light malt, and fruity esters with a lightly bitter finish. Really clean and refreshing with a light body and high carbonation. Pretty good.

Part of a flight at the brewery. Pours a bright, clear yellow with a bit of a head. Aroma and flavor of nice bready and sweet malts. Light, refreshing, and sessionable as hell.

draft. clear gold with a fine white head. low bitterness, medium sweetness, light body with a watery finish and moderately fizzy carbonation but decent froth when it hits the palate. has the flavor of malzbier throughout but has wonderfully clean flavor and good brightness. light solvent and sprouted garlic greenness at times.

Sample at the brewery. Pours a thin white head over a slightly hazy yellow (SRM 3) body....nose is light biscuit, cereal, very lightly rubbery.....taste is light cereal, dry throughout...mouth feed light, carbonation low. This meets this very light style quite well. BJCP 6/3/10/4/6
