UPDATED: MAY 7, 2004 The beer after disburdening itself from the 12 ounce brown bottle sits in the glass a clear amber color with the head bright white and modest in size, the texture frothy and the lace a thin white veil to occult the glass. Nose is crisp and fresh, sweet malt aroma dominates and overall pleasing to the senses. Start is somewhat sweet, fair malt presence, the top light in its feel to the palate with the finish brisk in its acidity and the hops benign in their spiciness, quite dry aftertaste, but a nice drinkable beer.

Bottle. Poured with a very spare, white head that was greatly diminishing. Body was slightly hazy and a dark yellow color. Aroma was of light malt and some breadiness. Light to medium-bodied on the palate, mostly thin-textured, with average carbonation. Flavor was lightly sweet with a short duration... went down very easy, but didn’t taste like anything special. A very easy blonde to drink... maybe too easy. Nothing that sets it apart from any others of its kind.

Bottle: Golden color pour with little head. Hoppy, spicy, citrusy aroma. Sweet, hoppy, grassy finish.

Bottle courtesy of kyzr. Pours a hazy gold with a white head. Smells of citrus, dry malt, floral hints. Tastes perfumy with a tarte, dry malty finish.

Bottle from Hamilton, MT. Golden/brownish in color. Slightly sweet aroma with some tartness. Some fruitiness in the nose. Fairly dry bready malt flavor. Not much in the way of hops.

Light golden color with a fairly fluffy white head. Low aroma, very yeasty. Mild carbonation with slight apple notes and a tiny hop hit near the finish. Rather boring.

Hazy deep golden, almost no aroma, a vague sweetness. Sweet biscuity flavour bordering on caramel, faint fruit hop or yeast note, very low bitterness. This just didn’t do it for me.

Received single 12-oz bottle via trade with 5000. Pours a semi-clear golden pale amber brew with a thin, creamy off-white head that slowly dissipates to a film top and white ring with some spotty lacing. Aroma of golden and caramel malts, citrus hops, some fruity apples, and a touch of corn grits. Taste is light bodied, some grit grain, floral hops and some caramel. Finish remains a little gritty but a good balance of dry and sweet aftertaste that quickly becomes crisp, clean cut. A pretty decent summer beer.

Bottle: Lightly hazy blonde color with a nice puffy white head and a full sheet of lacing. The nose is very musky with wheat husk, light floral hops. The flavor is full of stale malt and a bit of sweetness. Funky.

Bottle: Clear yellow pour with lots of bubbles and a huge white head. Somewhat sticky lacing. Nose is mild with florals and grassiness. Some maltiness. The taste is true to style with light florals, wheat, and malts. Simple and basic, but not bad at all.
