This is a $8 rating, because the only reason I tried this is because it was at a concert. Clear gold, white head. Grainy malt, light sweet and lightly hoppy. Middle of the road beer, nothing special.

On draft at Karl Strauss Universal City, 11/26/07. Slightly cloudy and pale yellow, nice head and lacing. Sweet toast aroma. Flavor is slightly roasty with wheat bread toast notes. Finish has signature pilsener corn flavor. One of the better microbrew pilseners I have had, though not outstanding.

Bottle thanks to riverside ak. Pours a straw yellow with a nice white head. Aroma of bread and sweet malts. Flavor is similar with a nice bit of hops, some corn and citrus. Very simple and easy to drink. Not bad at all.

Tap at La Jolla. Copperish pour. White head. Some earthy hops lead off followed by typical honey/caramel malt aromas. Flavor hits with more hops than malt, but not by a lot. Not all bad.

Clear yellow color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was corny and grainy. The flavor was grainy as well with a floral hop middle and finish. Cereal taste at the tail end. Light body.

Clear gold with a frothy head. Sweet bready malt, grassy hop aroma. Medium body. Subtle flavor is lite sweet bready pale malts. Crisp clean finish. Very easy drinking.

Draught at Karl Strauss La Jolla. Clear golden color with thin white head. Light noble hop aroma and flavor nicely balanced with a slgithly sweet cereal grain flavor. Crisp and clean, light body. Not a bad beer.

draft - Pours clear yellow with a thin white head and a light pale malt aroma. The flavor is very mild on the hops for the style. Still, the bready malts are at least nice, which makes this light bodied brew drinkable.

From the tap poured golden with little head. Nice flavor with a quick finish.
