A refreshing light golden ale. A good alternative to macro light beers with a light hop flavor.

Part of a draft sampler from the brewpub. Straw colored, clear, minimal white head. A bit of citrus grains on the nose. Nice blend of spice, hops, and grain flavors. Insanely mild, but it finishes perfectly clean and is quite refreshing. Very little body, but this would be great on hot days and would go down easy all summer long.

Light corn nose. Butter flavor with the slightest twinge of hops. Very refreshing but not something to seek out.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear golden color with very little head on the sample I had. Not really much nose at all. A little grainy sweetness. The flavor is light with some pilsner malt flavor. A hint of citrus to it as well. A pretty light body with some spritzy carbonation and a little bite in the finish. A little bit dry, but doesn’t leave much on the palate.
