The appearance lives up to its name: clear and golden. Tons of carbonation. Big, puffy Italian ice head. Color is light but good; the head is fine. The aroma is lagery, with that slight pilsnerish hop. It’s all-malt (I think) so there isn’t that corn aroma, which is a relief. Slight crisp lime/citrus smell. The taste is lagery malt, with a little bit of German bitterness. Has almost a lemonade quality to it, with an unexpected citrusy hop. Well balanced! The feel is crisp and fresh, but also smooth. Works well with style. More of an ale-feel than a lager feel. I like it; crisp and bittersweet and refreshing. Nicely balanced and good for spring.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is light with some pale malt and a tiny bit of hop coming through. Flavor is light easy drinking, grassy, bready pale malt.

On Tap at the Blake Street Tavern, Denver 13/10/2008 Carbonation. Some hop aroma. Golden coloured and smooth on the palate with a little dryness and bitterness in a crisp malt finish.

bottle. Slightly hazy gold-yellow color with a small white head that quickly disappears. Corny, grassy aroma. Malty initial taste with a faint bitter finish. Drinkable on a hot summer day but nothing real special about it.

Somewhat flat flavor but is generally drinkable. I have to agree with another poster about the aroma that it smells like "dirty socks and cereal".

12oz into a pint glass. Smooth and typical for easy drinking during the summer.
