Slightly cloudy yellow orange color, the head white and dissipates quickly, the lace is adequate. Nose is malt and clean, light citrus tones, front is malt, the top is thin, the finish is quite acidic, dry, and has hop presence, all in all, not what I like.

Had this beer on 8/1/2002. Color is a bright gold with good carbonation and nice head. Aroma is a light sweet malt scent. Taste is sweet and bitter. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a slightly rich feel and sweet flavor. It finished with an overly sweet malt flavor that is backed by a sudden bitterness. Its flavor is too heavy and rich for a summer brew.

Cloudy orange with no head . flavor of sweet malt. aroma of malt. To sweet for me ..drainpour.

Slightly hazy golden yellow with a medium diminishing white head. Some floaties are present. Aroma of light bread, cereal, honey, creamed corn and a hint of lemon. Medium watery body with soft carbonation. Slightly musty flavor of honey, light bread, pepper, and adjunct related sweetness. Not good, not bad, I can see why it is now retired. Thanks to slikwily for this one!

A very, very, very small white head with fine sized bubbles that quickly diminished. The body was mostly transparent with soft carbonation and a pale yellow hue. The nose was lightly malty, sweet, citrus notes and fruity. The flavor was very flat, bland and boring with a sweet and light fruitiness. The mouthfeel was smooth, watery and thin making for a light textured beer with very sparse lacing. Not a beer that I will recommend.

This bottled brew poured a very small longlasting head of fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that left behind a carbonated slightly hazy yellow colored body and a good lace. The aroma ia a mild malt dough. The mouthfeel is smooth and tingly with a flavor of malty fruit like apricot.

Pours a light yellowy color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly hoped and have a touch of citrus. Cute artwork on the label, but the beer is pretty bad. You can almost always tell when you pour a yellowy beer that it isn't going to be good.

8/1/03: bottle.
light pils aroma. golden yellow body. very watery with a lemon-citrus flavor.

Light yellow body with a quickly dissipating white head. No lacing.
Smells like corn and other adjuncts. A tiny bit of yeast is behind that corny nose.
A little bit of that corny flavor with a hint of yeast in the flavor. Very thin and bland..
Smooth on the palate but had an odd mouthfeel.

Pale straw color,small white head that faded super fast.Wheat aroma maybe a mild malt presence,mild hops maybe a slight spice to it along with a mild fruit accent.Very mild taste,mild malt,mild wheat with a sweetness to it.the fruit doesn't really come through to well,the same with the hops.The after taste is mild at best with a definate sweet tone that is mostly malt and maybe citrusy the feel is like water.I don't know but this brew almost seems to try to be a lot of different styles but doesn't quite fit anything other then a wheat beer IMO.A nice brew to try once but not worth having any more then that.
