Otherwise watery and unfulfilling. Bottle looks nice. Is that worth any points? hopscotch (5558), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

Hazy golden ale with a large, frothy, white head. Decent retention. Meek floral aroma and grainy flavor. Mild sweetness and tanginess with a gentle hop bite. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Crisp, clean finish. BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Hazy light gold with a tiny, thin white head. Sweet, lagery aroma. Flavor is kind of the same. Crisp and somewhat refreshing, but really a letdown. More of a Beverly Hills Ninja than a samurai. Probably my least favorite of the Great Divide beers. tiggmtl (4312), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 8, 2005 Very mild aroma is lightly sweet with some herbal hop notes apparent. Clear golden body with a low but lasting white head that recedes to ring with some lace. Light sweet flavour has some banana esters and a lingering musty honey sweetness. Lemony citrus note becomes more apparent as it warms. Light body with fair carbonation. Sampled on tap at Breckenridge. emacgee (1892), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2007 Pours a pale hazy yellow with a thick frothy white head. The aroma smells like cereal. Flavor shows light cereal and a slightly harsh bite. Don’t know where that comes from. The palate is light and crisp. Easy to drink. greenhorn1 (462), Mission Viejo, California, USA
