Not a bad summer beer, lovely color and pleasant nose, but lacks that all day drinkability that I look for in a summer brew. Could lead to those "second beer blues".

Sep 4, 2008 12 oz bottle - poured a slightly hazy golden with a good sticky cap. Faint aroma of some herbs and a hint of corn? Flavour not bad, but not great. Refreshing, quaffable, and completely forgettable.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of medium sweet malt with the distinctive Kolsch style yeast. Taste is also a mix between some medium sweet malt with some unrefined grainy notes and the distinctive Kolsch style yeast that I have a hard time to describe. Well done and very refreshing.

Aug 16, 2008 Didn’t realize I haven’t rated this beer till now. I must have had 50 of these this year. The last one I had was this afternoon and it hit the spot. I rarely drink right from the bottle but this went down pretty damn easy. I like the crispness of the beer and that it doesn’t try to be something that it’s not. It’s got a fresh whole grain sweetness to it and a nice dry finish. This could easily be a year round offering for Harpoon if they renamed it. So much better than UFO & IPA. They could also work on that head retention also.

Aug 16, 2008 Light golden color with white head. Bubbly. Wheat, yeast aroma. Crisp citrusy taste.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear pale gold with an average size lasting fizzy white head. Aroma: yeah, I’m not loving this: Mild with grassy hops, grain, citrus and a touch vegetal -- it’s pretty ’meh’. Watery flavour of light grassy hops, grain and light malt. Light bitter finish. Light bodied. A lot of use of the words ’mild’ and ’light’ in this rating -- even for the style it’s a bit much, it’s not bad just very bland.
