From the tap at Brigatine Seafood poured golden with a good amount of head. Light sweet malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Nose is mildly biscuity and smells of crisp hops. Pours more light orange than gold with a soapy head. Flavor is initially hoppy, a citrus lemon kind of thing followed by bready malt. That is it. A mild hoppiness and coaty mouthfeel lingers for a bit, but it is still pretty light bodied. Pretty average really.

Very light nose of pale malt. Some lightly roasted malt sweetness, with caramel and toffee notes, but pretty tame really. Very spritzy carbonation tricks you into thinking a bit more is going on here than there really is. A very, very light ale.
