This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Sand Creek tap room. Served a nice mid-gold with a light head/lace combo. Aroma of slightly sweet malts and grain. Taste was similar - front-end was malty followed by the taste of grains with a light hop finish. Palate was decent. Overall, a nice light malt/grain ale.

Pours golden with nice froth and slight haze; smell sweet malts dominates; taste is smooth with Euro hop accents and sweetish finish
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: DEC 18, 2010 Bottle.
A - Hazy, cloudy, dusty gold color with an average sized, foamy, cloud-like, soapy white head. Average retention with a pretty good creamy layer of lace left.
S - Some cracker and pale malt aroma. Grainy aroma comes out a bit stronger in subsequent sniffs. A touch of lemony citrus rind. Fairly sweet with a touch of spicy aroma.
T - Some sweet pale malt and a touch of cracker/bread flavor. Fairly strong apple taste comes out along with some lemon rind. A strong grainy taste with a bit of toasted flavor along with it. Very faint grassy taste as well.
M - Lighter side of medium body with a nice level of carbonation. The more I drink, it seems to get a bit smoother and creamier. Nice feel.
D - Easy to drink with a nice mix of flavors. Quite refreshing with a nice body.
Notes: Nice, easy to drink beer with a nice mix of flavors. Pretty tasty, not going to blow anyone away, but a solid choice (especially on a warm day).

Slightly hoppy aroma, filled with a sweet tint. Flavor is of mild citrus and hops, with a refreshing, sweetened malty finish.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear golden orange, white head of fine bubbles. Nose is nutty malts w/ a background of fruity yeast notes--quite nice, esp. for a light ale like this. Medium sweet w/ perhaps a bit overly vigorous carbonation but a smooth, creamy mouthfeel regardless. I am not sure quite what they are going for her but I think I’d put this in a catagory w/, say, Goose Island 312, a beer of generally APA-ish qualities but lighter and not as hoppy (not nearly as hoppy in this case). Finishes w/ a lingering tartness and some sticky floral sweetness. Good attempt at a blond but not quite there.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JUL 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Thick, hazy golden-tan color. Big white head. Pretty attractive considering it’s advertised as their lightest offering. The aroma is sweet, with a touch of corn and vanilla. Very creamy, light to medium bodied. Quite refreshing, smooth finish. Certainly above par for your light offering, but has a slightly unclean taste that starts to pervade towards the end.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a cloudy, apple cider-colored body, topped by a small head of foam which diminished quickly. Looks flat. Citrus aroma along with light malting. Thin body, with crisp carbonation. Flavor is sweet and tart, with a palate of orange, spice, and malts. Aftertaste is bitter, and woody. The taste of this beer isn’t too bad, but it’s appearance and watery texture prove to be it’s undoing.
