Bottle courtesy of the one and only Butters! Pours a clear golden color with a thin creamy white head that fades pretty quickly. Aroma of big honey notes and toasted grain. The taste is honey and grainy malts. Faint hops in the finish. Medium bodied. Decent.

120z bottle scored in Memphis. Lager yeast in a Weiss? Damn, this is another stone cold loser from Diamond Bear. Grainy devolved taste, gross buttery cardboard. Chock full of off flavors, this is quite disgusting. Complete nonsense beer.

(12oz thanks to Lumpy best by 2010) pale yellow with soapy white head. Nose of paper, stale crackers, brown sugar, and light caramel. Taste of cracker, sugar, a bit hoppy, earthy, with decent carbonation and a linger of old.

Review from notes, sampled 7/12/2008 Received 6 of these recently as part of the beer of the month club my wife purchased for me. Thanks for the opportunity dear. Deep straw color with a good sized rocky white head that laces some of my glass as it disappears. Smells a little sweet a little grassy and grainy with a bit of wheat. Taste is a little sweet, a little grainy, a little grassy, a little boring. Nothing really objectionable here, but nothing really great either. Medium to light body with ample carbonation and a sweet grainy mouthfeel. Meh! Glad I got to try it, but probably wouldn’t want any more.

Bottle courtesy bu11zeye. Pours a clear golden yellow with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is chalky and clay with a slight bit of honey. Flavor is sharply bitter, with a waxy mouthfeel and some sour grain.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye and lumpy, golden color with white foam, buttery citrus aroma, flavor is also buttery fruit with a light finish

12oz bottle. You know there’s gonna be trouble when the commercial description suggests adding a lemon. Bright golden color - off putting wheat and honey aroma. Taste doesn’t get much better, something is off here.

11th October 2008. GABF. Light gold beer. Watery wheat. Nothing going on here - no wonder they recommend putting a slice of lemon in it. Bleh!

(Sample Date: 5/16/2009 Source:Other) 12 oz bottle courtesy of Maniac. Grainy aroma and slightly oxidized. Clear golden with small white head. Grainy, slightly buttery flavor. Very light noble hop like flavors. Medium body and mouthfeel. Dry finish with very light bitterness.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Soonah. Pours a light gold with a 1/2" white head. Aroma is grain with a touch of honey. Thin palate with an average amount of carbonation. Flavor is grain and honey. Not much here, but hey, I finally got Arkansas.
