Slightly hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Light sweet aroma of peaches and pears with some additional malt. Light-bodied; Sour initial taste of fruit followed by some maltiness. Aftertaste finisehd without any offensive flavours, just a mild showing of malt and sweetness. Overall, fairly good for the style...good taste and flavour! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 01-November-2003.

Has a golden color with some carbonation and a light malt smell. Taste is also lightly malted and finishes with little bitterness. Overall a pretty boring beer.

Boy, I don’t know what my problem is, but I rather liked this beer. It was light (of course) and easy to drink. It had an almost wheat beer flavor to it and very little bitterness. I would not mind having it again...

Wrath (362) - Valparaiso, Indiana, USA - OCT 20, 2003
Golden slightly cloudy color.Little to no aroma.Mostly a grassy smell. A little hop flavor but overall pretty weak. I guess it is a light beer? Finish is tart and a little watery.

Aurelius (3077) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - OCT 15, 2003
Tart ale and somewhat lagerish aroma. Tannish gold, with a lousy label with a font that looks like it was stolen from a 70's B-movie. Moderately tart, dry, well-brewed hops make it a little vegetable and brothy. Medium tart finish, OK fizz, a little watery.

suprising nice for a "light" beer. very iffy for a full blown ale. Had a decent amount of flavor for the style and finished well.

This brew poured a very small head of finely sized quickly disappearing bubbles that left a softly carbonated yellow orange colored body behind. Its aroma was very mildly malted and its mouthfeel was smooth and mildly bubbly. Its flavor ewas thin and mildly hopped.

This stuff is WEAK! Don't waste your money on this if you are a Bud Light or Coors Light Drinker. It almost seems like the wash water from when they are cleaning out the brew kettles. No character whatsoever!

Kinda funny...a light house on a light beer. heh. anyways... i found this to be very watery and with only a very slight hoppy taste. for light beers it's ok, but otherwise, it's not worth drinking.
