Draught at the brewpub. Straw yellow with a small head and some random floating foam. Very light aroma of slight sulpher, clean, light pale malt sweetness, and very faint hops. Light pale malt and grain flavor, light honey sweetness, and a light hop snap that you really have to pay attention to pick up. Light bodied and crisp feel, yet not harshly carbonated like you would expect from a macro version of the style. It’s sad to say it, but this was the standout of the sampler. Still not a beer that I would get again, but damn, its clean and well done for the style, something that I couldn’t say of any of their other beers, even if I would have gone for another one of them over this for another round.

Draft at the source. Bright yellow color, thin white head. Aroma of straw. Taste is bitter lager. Medium body. Too reminiscent of the macros.

Draught at the brewpub. Weak grainy aroma. Almost clear yellow colour. The flavour is slightly grainy, but not unpleasant. Creamy mouthfeel. Chalky finish. Good for the style.

This beer was to light. Pale pour with a faint grassy aroma. Flavor was grassy and didn’t work well with the relatively high alcohol content for the body.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty grainy aroma. Fruity malty grainy flavor. Has a fruity malty grainy finish.

Pours yellow with a white head. Smells of apples and lightly breaddy. Tastes semi sweet and crisp with some light floral hints on the finish.

Pours golden from tap with an inch of white foam. Not a lot of aroma. Clean, crisp taste with a full, rich, creamy finish. Finishes clean.

Reviewed from notes. Pours a clear yellow straw color with plenty of visible carbonation bubbles and a nice white head. The nose brings some light grain and not too much else. No vegetables or cardboard, which is a plus here. Taste is similar with mild grain. Light body and really nice drinkability, especially when compared against its "peers."
