Cloudy orange-gold with good white head / Clean grain and honey nose / Medium body, fizzy, with sweet, good finish / Flavors of apples, honey and grain, with very sweet finish / A good beer burdened by excessive carbonation and maybe a tad too much sweetness.

Pours a clear gold with white head. Aroma of earthy malts and yeast. Taste is light and heavily carbonated. Taste has a tight grassy flavor that is well balanced and finished well with hops. Not really a lot to this beer, but not bad.

22oz. bottle. Relatively slight aroma of grainy, lightly sweet, pale malts and touches of grassy, spicy hop, some very faint berryish fruitiness and flowers. Clear light-medium golden color with plenty of visible carbonation feeding a persistent head. Flavor is likewise gently sweet and predominantly malty, with some cereal qualities noted along with a light-moderate amount of bitterness that comes in about midpoint, finishing a touch more fruity and peppery, but only very gently so. Effervescent and clean on the palate with a medium body. Even outside of the lack of conformity to the mental picture I had before tasting it, this stuff is still lacking in character considering where it comes from.

Yellow. Apple like aroma. Light. Smooth. Not much taste but refreshing. Slight apple taste.

In a five ounce plastic cup during a Rogue Ales tasting at Capitol Convenience in Concord, N.H., U.S.A. I hated the way it looked. It was very yellow. But the taste compensated for the way it looked. I enjoyed the flavor. It was smooth and clean and very satisfying. I bought a larger bottle so I can enjoy it under more relaxed circumstances.

22 oz. bottle - pours clear gold with slight white head; hardly any aroma and not really anything to say about this beer in terms of flavor, etc; eh

Got this at Gomers of Kansas. Pours clear/straw, with good head. Not much on aroma and light on taste. It was very lagerish with some sweetness at the end. It was a decent beer though.
