Commercial Description:
This recipe is a true craft ale brewed with only water, yeast, hops and malted barley, in keeping with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. We have designed it with a vibrant golden amber hue and a refreshing body. The mild addition of Kent Golding hops balances the generous amounts of caramel malts to give it a malty rather than a bitter finish. A special strain of California Ale Yeast gives the brew a slight hint of fruity aroma.

Miller Park - Brewers-Twins game, Milwaukee, WI. - on tap. Pours a dark golden with a decent sized white head. A wee bit of honey in the aroma, not much else. Flavor has some of the same honey notes, a faint twist of citrus, and some yeasty notes, but overall slightly bland. Mouthfeel - a tad thin. Decent summer refresher.

Pale golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma is quite subtle with a bit of light apple fruitiness over a touch of honey and light pale malt. Easy to drink, lightly sweet and fruity.

Deep golden with a very short lived white head. Fruity and slightly sour aroma. Slighty sweet malty flavor. Refreshing.

Rather bland, but then the bottle notes promise simplicity. A nose that is primarily wheat, and a palate that is wheat with lemon zest mingling in, and a very mildly hoppy finish. Smooth, but not very exciting.

pours pale golden with a tiny white head. Aroma is wet grain and grassy hops. Light malty flavor, grassy, and grainy.

Bottle. My first Mild Ale and now have all 71 beer styles. Whooo hoo! Sour lemongrass and some dry yeast on the nose. Faint but appealing. Slightly hazy gold pour with no head. Definite mild flavor. Some sweeter malt with light toasted biscuit notes. A hint of caramel and toffee. Medium bodied. Crisp and refreshing, albeit not overly complex. I’d like to try some other milds.

The aroma is mild, slight lemon, hop, and spice to it. Has a nice golden, straw color appearance. It does taste like a light version of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. One word to sum it up would be mild.
