3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brought this one out to toast Grandpa Leicht’s 80th B-day. (He thought it was a bit weak) Very light gold, puffy white head. Aroma was bready with a faint whiff of malts. Flavor was malty and sticky, some lemony hints, decent hoppiness at the end. This one tastes like a watered-down good lager. For a light beer, it’s pretty good.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours pale yellow with an effervescent poofy white head. Remarkably flavorful for a "light" beer. Although the light applies to ethanol I suspect and not calories. Has an interesting graininess that is not harsh. Thin in body, but not watery. Competent for the style.

Bottle at Novare Res.
Ok so I made fun of this beer for being 2.8% long enough, time to actually try it. Well the pour looks clear and lightly aweful like i expected. The aroma was straw, grassy, light fruity and sweet. The flavor was wheat, malt, and caramelly. I cant believe such an easy drinking beer has such a powerful flavor. This is actually pretty nice, and supremely drinkable. The perfect beer to have when you’re not trying to get too drunk :)
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a very clear super light yellow, you could read a book through the other side of the glass, some small bubbles and a medium white frothy head, oh yea it looks like the picture. Very strong pungent over-ripe banana aroma with lots of grass and unmalted wheat, earthy and sweet. Wheaty flavor, a bit sweet and grainy that is unmasked because of the super light body, chalky, really nice malted flavor, yet still clean and quite crisp. Tastes almost a bit like Japanese rice beer. Long lasting bitter finish and aftertaste that seems similar to a Pilsner. Touch of banana and bread. Medium/light bodied with sparse crisp carbonation. Well crafted brew. If this were half a percentage higher in ABV it would be a Kristall Weizen. [MaltDawg said this beer doesn’t travel well or have a long shelf life... my bottle is almost a year old and I was worried about that... however it held up fine, no sourness at all]
