This had a frothy.long lasting head.color was straw.aroma was whimpy of grass.My first impression of tasting this reminded me of those crappy commercial golden style beers.After more tastes I got some yeast flavor and it seemed a bit smoother than the average commercial high production beer.Somewhat bigger body.Overall,I was disappointed with this beer.I had 1 out of the six pack and will pass the rest on to a beginner friend I have.

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.
