12oz bottle. Aroma of sweet corn, dust, green apples starting to go bad. Pours clear bright yellow with a bright white head. Mouth filling carbonation with an off putting lemon zest tartness followed by some wet cardboard and pale lager flavors. Thin on the tongue with an oppressive amount of carbonation.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy, pale gold body with a small white head. Smell: Odd, distressing aroma of rotten lemons and perhaps corn. Taste: An equally odd, but even more distressing flavor of abandoned citrus fruits and musty corn. Good grief. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: The muskie or "ugly pike" is an appropriate mascot for this beer.

12oz bottle from brewpub: Pours a transparent golden bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet, pale grainy malt and a hint of metallic notes and noble hops. Body starts thin and watery with a strange raspberry seed tartness and fizzy carbonation toward candy-like tart finish. Very weird, but if you called it a raspberry ale, I’d probably have rated it higher.

Picked up single 12-oz bottle from brewpub. Pours a light golden straw brew with a thin off white film and a light white ring. Aroma of sweet popcorn, some flowery hops, and a touch of apple. Taste is highly carbonated, some sweetness on the tongue and a corn flake taste finish. Finish is watery and too clean. One of their better ultra-llight brews.
