COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Here’s one that’s clean and refreshing enough for the long haul, but fully graced with hop aroma, malt heft and clear craft passion. Sit back, relax, and let the subtle pleasures reveal.

vulcanmeister (137) - La Grande, Oregon, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Poured from a 12 oz bottle, a clear light golden color with a small white head. The nose is grass, wheat, and hops. The flavor is very light and refreshing, with a nice balance of wheat and hops. Nothing fancy here but a well crafted refreshing summer brew.

marcus (5004) - Sacramento, California, USA - MAY 20, 2013
Pours cloudy blonde with an attractive off-white head and a citrus aroma. There is a medium-bodied pale malt flavor with a slightly bitter perfumy hop finish.

RedSox2004 (977) - Pacific Palisades, California, USA - MAY 17, 2013
Crystal clear golden orange with a bright white head and wonderful lace. Biscuity/bready malt aromas with a hint of white grape and grassy hops. Flavors are somewhat the same, but the malt sweetness is more dominant over the hop bitterness that maintains only a background presence. Light to medium body, nice carbonation, slightly watery mouthfeel, and a clean finish.

jandd1983 (1574) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Sampled at TWCP Beer Fest 2013. It poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma was malty with a little floral hint. The taste was sweet and a little bland. Nice beer to drink on a sunny afternoon.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - MAY 11, 2013
Pale golden pour with a white head. Floral hops, lemon peel, and some grass. Maybe a bit of biscuit. Really light aroma. The flavor is pretty light, too. Mildly bitter, some citrus and grass notes, and a floral hop quality. Some bread and biscuit sweetness. That’s pretty much it...

moonbug (21) - Bryan, - MAY 10, 2013
Hoppy aroma with a clear amber hue. It has a very light and refreshing taste that stands a bit in opposition to its hoppy smell. Very light malt overtones and a clean finish. Easy and refreshing. The type of beer one can enjoy in multiples on a hot balmy day. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bhensonb (8991) - Woodland, California, USA - MAY 8, 2013
Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours light amber with a slight white head. Aroma is a strange mix of toffee and floral. Med minus body. Flavor starts fruity, gets a little mixed hop, and then goes a little wheaty. The pleasures are too subtle for me.
