An orange golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with a somewhat weird Lite beer hop profile. The flavor is sweet malty with only faint hints of hops, and a thin body. Boring.

Sample at the brewpub. Strong buttercotchy/diacetyl aroma & flavor, very malty, some milkiness..fuller and darker than most, but rather boring overall.

Draft. Medium gold pour with medium head. Aroma of hopcit, honey, apricot. The flavor was hopcitris, but maintained a sweet, fruity taste, with some honey in the finish. This one is medium on the palate, and notably complex for this style.

on tap -pours an off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is grain. Taste is sweet grain, faint hops. OK carbonation.

Tap at the brewpub. Very pale golden straw colour. Pale pils malt that is pretty expressive really. Soft floral hoppiness that really comes through on the back of the palate as well. Fresh malt base. It’s a pretty solid take on the style.
