Commercial Description:
Blonde in color, this mild ale is brewed with a blend of four malts to impart a subtle, malt bouquet. A smaller than normal hop addition is made in the beer to keep the flavor mild and clean.

This is a decent ale that is drinkable and pretty good with simple food, but hardly great. Its flavour is not very complex or deep, being mostly light grain with light hints of citrus and pine, its balance is just a tad off to the bitter side, and it is overall not exciting. It is, however, drinkable.

Draught, Russian River. Body is medium to dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, slightly husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Pretty rough.

Sampled at Russian River in mid-June 2007. Clear golden with a white head. Grain, noble hops and a hint of pretzel in the nose. Flavor has notes of pale grain, slight huskiness, hay, light lemon and saaz hops (I think). Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Nothing exciting but a pleasant drinkin’ beer.

Draught at the brewery. Beer is clear, light gold with a small, white, frothy, mostly and quickly diminishing head.

The aroma is malty with a moderate note of slightly husky grain; Hoppy with a light note of honeysuckle; Yeasty with a light note of basement; Trace miscellaneous notes of ozone, peach.

The flavor is moderately sweet, light-to-moderately acidic with a long, lightly acidic, moderately sweet finish.

The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.
