Draft at the brewpub. 3.8% abv. Marketed as a pilsner. Ligt colour, with lace. Chessy aroma. Mouthfeel somewhat watery. Borderline drinkability.

On draught at the brewpub. Served a crystal clear pale gold with a moderate fluffy white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left a layer of foam with each sip. Mild aroma of lager yeast. The flavor is very husky grainy malt along with lager yeast. Harsh and somewhat abrasive on the palate. Not very good. Ugh.

On tap as part of sampler at the brew pub. obviosuly this was lightest in sampler so i started with it. straw yellow and tastes of hay, grass, light standard pale ale.

tap - straw yellow, light corny. caramel malts with a touch of astringency and cloves. pretty well balanced. good execution for a much abused style.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de céréales avec une pointe d’houblons. Apparence: La couleur est blonde pâle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréales avec une pointe citronnée. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence de céréales en arrière goût. (Rating #2978)

All right, first rating - did it again. Lightly green appearance and malty fragrance. A fairly sweet and malty pilsner - good. On tap at the brewpub.

on tap–pours a thin white head and pale straw color. Aroma is light grain/hint of hops. Taste is sweet light grain, balanced spice/lemon hops (saaz?). Light body.

Sampled @ Otter: Pours a clear, yellowish corn, with a thin white head. Very good as a starter, easy drink, however no complexity or depth. The palate is thin and watery.

So much different than the summer version even though this seems to be the base for the blueberry. Light and crisp not too much flavor. Boring.

Pours a clean, clear amber. Light and yeasty but without much else going for it. Reminds me, sadly, of the swill we’d drink back in college after hiking out to wherever it was that had a keg that weekend. The otter makes much better beers than this. Seems like a waste of a tap.
