Super light. Yellow-gold pour, no head. Aroma of straw, grass, wheat. Similar to light beers you can get anywhere.

Draught at RB Indy/Downtown. Hazy yellow with no head. Nose is sweet, light yeast and faint fruit - not much here! Malty and soft, but lightly dirty before resolving to a Nottingham-like bready aftertaste. Medium body a little full for style. Nothing really too off here, but I can’t get over the dirt.

Sampler Draft at brewpub. A fine example of the style, showcases the best of what this style can bring. This beer is perfect for a long, hot day when you want a thirst quencher with high drinkability but prefer more taste and complexity than the macros. There is a hint of hops in the nose, with small white head. This beer doesn’t bring out many flavors, but it is well balanced and is fuller than comparable light beers. A good craft beer gateway for non craft/import drinkers.

Had on tap at the brewpub. Pretty much your average old light pale lager to tell you the truth.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007
Small white head. Some carbonation. Pale malt and hop aroma. Clear golden coloured and hoppy with a crisp and slightly dry malt finish.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
draft at the downtown brewpub - Pours yellow with a one finger white head and a very light malt aroma. The flavor is also extremely light. It’s watery and while not bad tasting, that’s mostly because it hardly tastes like anything. I think there’s a touch of hops in the finish. This pointless beer has no reason to exist.

A nice change from BMC, but not one I care too much about. Looks like a thicker, fuller Bud, and tastes about the same.

Out of the sampler at the College Park brewpub. Foamy white head over a pale yellow beer. Light grain nose. Flavorful for a brewpub’s light offering. Light citrus peel, some sweetness, and an odd flavor that reminded me of baloney. Still a decent light beer.
