Draft at Founders. Clear golden body with a small white head. Light biscuity and herbal nose. Flavor is lightly sweet, some cracker, herbal and floral hops. Medium/light body is a touch thin with moderate carbonation.

for its intentions and purpose, i suppose this is not a bad beer...for Founders, its somewhat dissapointing however. the offering of the beer alone is dissapointing..grassy, grainy indistinct nose and flavor..blah

i really hate to give a founders beer this bad a rating. aroma and flavor are almost nonexistant. color is that of an american macro, also overcarbed as such. what a bummer from an amazing brewery.

Tasted 4/27/08. 4oz pour from the brewpub. Filtered with a golden hue. Ring of white head. Grainy nose. Light to medium bodied with a grainy adjuncted flavor. Mild and moderate. Tart mild esters. Mild session brew.

DLD ’08: Growler thanks to Chris: Pours a clear gold with a white head. Aroma, pale malts, grassy notes, grains, and some yeast. Flavor, yeast, some fruits, grains, malty and grassy. Not bad.
