A little disappointing. Needs more flavor. Harpoon usually makes better beers than this.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear straw color with an inch thick white headand no lacing. Has a sweet malty aroma with a dash of citrus and floral hops. A little sweetness in the flavor and some lemon zest and spices. A light and decent normal summer brew.

Very pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is dry, sweet malt. Body is light. Taste is light malt, subdued pils like hoppiness and a crisp, clean finish.

Bottle from oak tree. Pours a very pale yellow body with a 1 finger white head that diminishes to a thin lacing. Light malty and simple, a note of lemon and honey. Simple grainy with a light earthy hoppiness. Its really sessionable.

Bottle at Bob and Susan’s Plain Street Bistro. Light golden color. Nice smooth crisp taste. Good seasonal beer.
