Smooth and drinkable but fairly light on character. Bland session beer, disappointing.

Draft at the brewpub. Golden with a small head. No lace. Nose is citrus, honey, resin and plastic. Flavor is the same. Light body is balanced and lightly tingly.

Tap @ brewpub. Clear yellow color, short head. Bit hoppy aroma. Soft bitter taste, bit crisp finish.

On tap at the brewpub in Moab. Pours a clear gold with a tiny white head. The aroma was pretty nice; mostly citrus and hops. The taste was similar with a fairly metallic hop bitterness and some honey. Grains and some citrus round it out. Not bad.

22oz bomber-A golden body with a normal white/off white head and an aroma of malt, bread, slight citrus and hops. Taste of the same with a bitter back end.

on tap-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is some sweet light malt/wheat, musty. Taste is some sweet light malt/wheat, musty, faint earthy hops. OK effervescence.

Sort of bland beer - I’m not really sure what this is supposed to be. It does not taste very creamy or anything. Drinkable but not exciting.

This brew pours with a golden body topped by a medium thick off-white head with good lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and malty with notes of honey, butter and a slightly bready note. The flavor is slightly sweet and malty to start with a bitter hoppiness towards the end with a touch of bread. Light bodied, crisp and smooth.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy medium yellow, dense tiny particles, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain, bread), lightly hoppy (flowers), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Pretty decent for the style, actually. Clean and pleasant aroma, decent flavor balance, bottle conditioned. One of the better cream ales I've encountered.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2007 [rerate needed] One of the better beers form these guys, not as watery as their others, but still not something I’d let become a staple of my diet.
