Golden aroma that screams summer. Faint aroma of malt/grain, flavor follows the aroma, slighly citrusy and reminiscent of wine grape skins (odd reference, I know). very refreshing. goes down easy. great summer drinker; chick beer.

bottle, poured bright clear yellow with minimal white head and it didnt last long at all. the aroma is a mild malty wheat sweet. lots of carbonation in this. the flavor is crisp clean light malt mild hop. decent beer.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle from Wegmans Leesburg. It pours a slightly hazy light yellow with a large white head. The nose is a little lightstruck with notes of grass and a slight hint of fruitiness. The flavor is very light with a bit of grain, cracker, just a little grassiness and a very light bitterness on the back end. Kind of thin on the palate. It could use a little more flavor. Light in body with average carbonation and a clean finish. Lawnmower fare.

Got this on tap at a outdoor event. Small plastic cup, clear bright golden color with a little white head. Aroma of grain, bread and a little lemon zest. Taste was much like the aroma with a little grass also, very crisp and clean finish, Very much enjoyed on the warm day.

12oz bottle. Aroma like a pretty standard beer, with pale and light caramel malts plus a little bit of hops. Flavor the same. Average texture. A decent beer.

This is about as average as average gets. Not a strong aroma. Pours a thin gold w/ basicalt no head. Taste is clean & crisp. Nothing really stands out but it’s fairly well balanced. Kind of refreshing on a warm day & pretty sessionable.

Poured into a shaker glass from a 12 ounce bottle bottled on 4-25-2012.

A: Crystal clear pale golden body with a steady stream of fast moving carbonation to a decent sized rocky creamy white head. This is a great looking beer.

S: Lightly fruity aroma with a mild floral aroma. This smells decent, a bit bright.

T: Oh I am not a fan of this. Lots of floral notes with mild fruits with what tastes like mild toasted malts. Semi-dry finish.

M: Light body with crisp carbonation.

O: Light easy drinking beer, I’m not a fan though, there’s something off-putting about this.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear gold with about a finger of white head. Aroma of fruity citrus and wheat. Taste is light sweet. Fruity citrus and wheat. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. Would make a great lawnmower beer.

Draft. Hazy golden pour with white head. Very light aroma and flavor, has a macro like aroma but doesn’t take away from the flavor.

Light, hazy lemon gold, puffy white head wiyh good striped lace. Scent is slightly lemony, grainy...fresh. Flavour is soft and slightly yeasty. It’s smooth, it’s good. This is one tasty beer.
