My favorite of the Hess taster tray. Pours a light yellow Not much in the aroma category but the taste is bright with plenty of grain tastes. Easy drinking.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - DEC 10, 2012
Clear golden pour with a white head. Nose is rather grainy. Some biscuit notes, floral hops, and sweet fruit esters of apple. Rather herbal, strangely enough. Tastes a bit too sweet. Lots of bread, grain, and biscuit. Apple esters, a light hop bitterness, and very strong herbal notes, almost like menthol.

BMan1113VR (7380) - Los Angeles, California, USA - OCT 24, 2011
On tap at the brewery. Pours with a hazed yellow body with no real head to last. Aromas are grainy, floral, earthy and bready with light tea notes. Flavors are nice but kind of (oddly) sharp. Bready, floral, grassy, and grainy otherwise. Medium bubbles and dry.

This was probably the weakest of the bunch I tried. Its sweet and enjoyable... but weak with slight water flavor going on. Still Not bad... a bit above average.
