Draught in a flight at the brewpub. Pours a very clear yellow color with a moderate white head on it. Nose has a little bit of corn smell to it, but manages to do so without any sweetness to it. Taste is very reminiscent of a lager, and feels very creamy and smooth, as it should. OK for the style, not great overall.

On tap. Hazy yellow with a tiny white top. Sweet malts, some grass in the nose and taste, perhaps a bit too sweet.

22 dec 2012, tap at their brew pub. Pale yellow, clear, no bubbles. Nose is sweet and creamy. Thin body and fizzy. Tastes if lager and maybe licorice. Not very nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Is there an aroma? I don’t see it. Or smell it. This is a very very lite beer. It reminds me of a nutty bud lite. Meh.

On tap at Paradiso Dupont. Pours a hazy, straw yellow with some cloudy white head. Nose is fairly standard, some white bread, some yeast, a little mild citrus. Flavor was similar, lightly malty, lightly grassy, a little stale soda. Light but acceptable finish.

Draft. Clear amber color, medium white heaf. Aroms of sweet caramel snd light fruit. Taste is slso sweet and light caramel.

Draft. Lightly hazed apple cider body, small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, apple juice, bread/cereal. Taste is medium body, cereal, bread, light spicy. Light body, low carbonation, quite quaffable.

Nose of grain, lightly sweet corn, hay, touch of grass and earth. Pours pale godlen, thin non lasting white head. Flavors of grain, corn, a little honey malt sweetness, soft grass and earthy finish. Nicely carbonated, well done drinkable cream ale.

Super-super light straw in color, crystal clear, white head. Aroma/flavor are clean with light astringent graininess that I mainly associate with wheat, and, to a lesser extent, rice adjuncts. Drinkable and interesting mainly because it is not often an ale is so light and blah. I don’t recall the "finest northwest hops" mentioned in the description.

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy pale yellow, small head. Light bodied. Grainy wit crisp mouthfeel. Fairly sweet, grassy and grainy with salty finish. A reasonable hot weather beer.
