On tap. Dark yellow, with a slight head, really no lacing on the glass. Couldn’t really detect any aroma. Malty flavor with a slight roasty caramel flavor. Reasonably smooth and refreshing. Works as a summer drinking beer.

Pours a pale gold color with a medium head. Good flavor to it, and is a relatively light summer ale. Good summer ale.

Bottle. Golden in colour and light on the eyes. Faint nose of honey and yeast. Easy drinking. Serves it’s purpose.

(Draft @ Sherlock’s, Bay Area, Houston, TX): Pours an orangish body, not purely see-through. White head, small & diminishing. Very malty aroma Some spices, some hops. Very weak. Somewhat bitter, some spice & flowers. Floral on the aftertaste. Carbonated, but flat on flavor.
