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.

Draft sampler at brewpub. Poured pale color with a minimal white head that diminished quickly. Light sweet citrus aroma. Light body with a watery texture. Light sweet flavor with a sweet short finish. Not something I would recommend to freind.

Tap at Rock Bottom Indy. Pours clear straw yellow with a spare, fizzy white head, low retention with flat lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grainy, hay, straw), light hops (spicy), and light esters (apple/pear) with notes of corn. Flavor is heavy malt (grainy, hay, straw), light hops (spicy), and light esters (apple/pear) with notes of corn. Light body, low warmth and creaminess, high carbonation with a dry finish.

From a sampler at the Indy location: This beer is a pale gold color with a thin white head. Thin and quick lacing. The aroma is mildly hoppy. Light-bodied and crisp with a flavor that is typical of most brewpubs with their "Light Lager" selection. This beer adheres to that pretty well in that it is on the bland side and won't scare a macro drinker too much. The finish is crisp and somewhat flavorless.

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

Another brew from brew master Tim at the Rock Bottom Brewery in Indianapolis, Indiana. This on tap brew poured a large foamy white colored head of finely sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent straw yellow colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was very mild and I would have to describe it as a mild malt if anything at all. The mouthfeel is smooth thin crisp and light. The very mild flavor was typical of a light beer with only very mild malt and hops detected.

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.

Maybe it’s my imagination, but it actually has a slight jalepno aroma over light malt and corn. Strong hominy/grits cast. Very light hopping. Kinda tastes like a rice cake. Neutered and formulaic.
