Yeah, craft beer in a can. As a golfer who has long suffered on the course due to poor selection at the beer cart, this excites me. This all malt beer pours a nice clear golden color with a slight tint of copper and a quickly dissapating head. The aroma is nice bready malt, with a hint of caramel and floral hops. The flavor is clean, good malt flavor, some bitterness, and a nice lingering yeasty aftertaste. The beer has plenty of body and is smooth. I look forward to enjoying this beer in the summer.

canned version bought in l’anse, MI. interestingly light and fruity aroma, with pale malt and a tiny bouquet of hops. certainly tastes blonde, but it’s very smooth and frankly very refreshing, especially straight out of the can! i hope this brewery succeeds.

Thanks to Skyview! Golden color with a thin head. Very light aroma of malt and maybe a marshmallow sweetness. Ditto in the taste. Some floral hop dryness on the finish. Probably one of the only Golden/Blonde Ales I have happily drank the entire bottle/can of.

A friend brought a can back from a camping trip to the UP. Bright cloudy color with a nice head. Crisp and refreshing.

Can poured a clear yellow with a lasting white head. Aromas of straw, light bread and light citrus. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of straw, light bread and a hint of citrus with a smooth lightly dry finish.
