On tap at Sarasota Brewing March 2005--Gotta hand it to this brewery fro trying to be an oasis in a place where craft beer is hard to come by. This one poured a light straw-golden light body with a thin white head. Weak to non-existent nose. Mild grassiness with the slightest hops profile. Mostly grainy flavor. Watery and uber-sessionable.

Draft at brewpub. Poured clear pale color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium bitter flavor with a bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Pleased to find this brew to watch bad football game.
