750mL bottle. The beer pours a slightly cloudy yellow. The aroma is light, some citrus hops, and malt. The taste is pretty light as well. Def a good beer, but nothing special.

Bottle. Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma of grains, bready malt, light yeast, and a hint of citrus. Flavor is pale malts, grass, light hops, and a touch of fruit. Light to medium bodied with a crisp finish

Wow. An exciting beer. I wonder why Rogue even bothers with this ale? Does it sell incredibly well during the month of March? Because the rest of the time I see bottles just gathering dust. Anyways, we tried this beer while brewing a beer and while it was crisp and clean, it was booorrrriiinnggg. The beer pours out a hazy golden color, with a small 1-finger thick head. Grainy aroma with just a touch of sweet malts. Yeast and malts dominate the flavor as well. No hops notinced in either the aroma of flavor. Easy to drink and nothing to distinguish itself. At least not for the price.

Pours a fluffy white head which dissipated quickly with no lacing. A decent aroma actuallly with a sweet, hoppy smell. Taste is extremely light hops with a bit of sweetness. Mouthfeel is very light and carbonated. This one is not too bad and pretty drinkable as lagers go.

A- Golden yellow crystal clear brew that pours with a decent sized fizzy head which fades quickly. S- Faint smell of sweet malts. Typical euro macro smell. T- Slightly sweet, wheat, very unobtrusive. Not the most interesting brew but definitely has taken a typical euro macro lager taste and refined it to the point that it removes all negative tastes (metallic tinges and so on). M- Mouthfeel is very crisp, highly carbonated and about average in viscosity. D- This beer is incredibly easy to drink. It especially shines in this category because of its light crispness and unobtrusive taste that remains light without being boring.

This is an ok beer. Not much aroma. Typical clear, pale appearance of a lager. Taste has a little citrus flavor mixed with malts. Hot-day-with-a-meal type of beer. I had mine with some brats. Not quite as good as most Rogues, but it was ok.

Hay and grainy but clean nose. Golden color, medium head. It tastes of dandelion and honey on a bed of hay. Clover finish. Head and shoulders above other lagers. Very memorable.
