bottle. premium lager?.....i guess. Nothing exciting here. pretty average golden lager. no real outstanding flavors or aromas. Pretty commercialized again Karl.

Not a great beer at all, not terrible, I wouldnt buy it again. I was expecting substantially more. pretty bland but sessionable.

cereal, grass, earthy, golden, clear, minimal head, light sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, light body, thin feel, average carbonation,

On tap at the Costa Mesa, CA location. Poured a lighter to medium golden color with a small sized head. Aromas and tastes of light fruitiness with some citrus. Lighter and thinner aromas and tastes.

Pale golden with a frothy white head. Salty celery and honey aroma. Light bodied. Taste is again light honey with celery. Crisp clean finish. Glad this summer is over.

Sample at the Sorrento Valley location. The beer is a clear yellow-gold color with a thin white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. Light fruit and malt aroma. Light body with mild malt and hops flavors, along with a fruity undertone. The finish is lightly malty with a short hops aftertaste. Just average overall.

Very clean finish with a light hoppy aroma. Great beer for a day at the beach. Nice balance of sweet and sharp. Surprises me that they make this in a light!

I had this over the weekend in Coronado, CA. Disappointed was I. Tastes very light, not much flavor and only mild hoppyness. You could be drinking a run of the mill light beer and not know the difference. I’d take this one back to the drawing board.

Draft at the downtown brewpub. Very light aroma. Maybe a bit of malt. Maybe. Pale golden color with a finely bubbled white head. Thin to medium bodied. Mild to moderate carbonation. Starts with pale malt sweetness, perhaps with a touch of honey. Bitter accompanies the sweet - I vote for floral hop or very light citrus (or both - the jalapenos in the food are interfering with this). It’s a clean, crisp and refreshing light ale. Fairly dry finish with persisting light bitter. Very good. Not just a lawnmower beer.

On tap at Columbia Street brewery. Light yellow with white head. Very light aroma. Flavor is light corn flakes with crisp hop note. Not too hateful. Might make a solid hot summer day brew.
