clear dark gold, wispy white head, streaks of lace, sweet candied malt aroma with light floral hops, light bitter malt flavor, just a touch of sweetness, bitterness grows into a long bitter finish, decent example of the style

(12oz bottle, bottled 3/22/05) Small white head atop a clear apple juice body. Taste is medium sweet, bread, some fruity, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, bread, some caramel, apricot. Watery light-medium body, some cripsness. No bitterness or aftertaste.

Objectively speaking: A simplistic and inoffensive pale lager
I like: Clean flavour profile. Soft herbal hoppiness.
I dislike: Rather dull grainy malt lineage. The key to this type of beer is to expose the taster to a trove of freshness and this is not quite managed here although no signs of age are noticeable either. Quick-finished.

Deep, clear, light golden lager. Large, frothy, off-white head. Gone in a flash. The aroma is of toffee and straw; vanilla and pistascios. Lightly malty and balanced with slightly bitter hops. There is some clover in there as well. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish!

Very clear light gold, almost no head. Clean grassy nose, relatively strong. Boring thin flavor, slightly metallic, crisp & slightly bitter end, but overall a thin, faky beer, probably tied with the Basin Harbor Ale for OC's worst product.
