(12oz bottle, courtesy of Cavie) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of biscuit, plastic, honey, and grain. Flavor of biscuit, light sulfur, and grass.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty aroma with weak caramel hints.Fruity malty creamy caramel flavor with weak hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty caramel finish.

on tap-pours a dissipating off white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is grain. Taste is sweet grain/light malt, hint of light spice hops. Nice, smooth. OK effervescence.

Bottle… Lightly hazed yellow ale with a mid-sized, fizzy, white head that quickly diminishes to a small, tight, creamy cap and then sticks around for a good while. The aroma is composed of peppery hops, a subtle note of butterscotch and a metallic, dried-sweat nuance. Light to medium-bodied with a mildly creamy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. There’s a moderately bitter hop component in the otherwise thin, listless flavor. Crisp, lightly bitter, watery finish.

Bottle from Liz. Pours hazy dirty light gold with a slight white head. Light citrus aroma. Near med body. Light malt flavor with some hop bitter, but also a component that could be honey or faint diacetyl. Sweet? Buttery? Not strong - so hard to decide. The bitter tends to cover this note, but the note takes it away from crisp. For me, anyway. Still it is finishing very bitter, which is always a good thing. For me, anyway.

Pours a clear pale golden with a thin ring of white head. Aroma is dry, lightly earthy and grainy, with a touch of hoppiness. Body starts clean and sugary malty with a nice light bitter balance and a dry, mildly earthy finish. A very drinkable beer that’s nothing extraordinary.
