Feb 9, 2009 Updated: Feb 10, 2009On tap at the Oakland A’s game. Man, Oakland is one hell of a dump. I’m just happy I’m alive whenever I leave that town. This is a decent summer beer. Yellow-orange color with a white head. Aroma is pale malts, citrus, light hops, and a little yeast. Malty with some hoppiness, but still light, crisp, and refreshing. Medium palate, pretty good mouthfeel for a lager. Won’t blow you away with complex flavors, but it goes down easy does the trick (FYI: "the trick" means getting you drunk without tasting like water or horse urine).

Feb 9, 2009 Bottle. Blonde. Slightly yeasty aroma with apple and vanilla. Thinnish. Yeast, apple, lemon and vanilla in the slightly dusty flavor with just enough flowery hops to be satisfying.

Feb 6, 2009 Candy orange body with fast-receding head. Spicy and hopy nose. Prickly mouthfeel. Taste of hops, herbs and citrus. Very crisp. Another good Sierra Nevada. Perhaps a bit watery and soft, but nice nonetheless.

Jan 30, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased at Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Poured a clear gold color with a thin white head. The aroma was citrus and grain. The flavor was about the same. This is just an average beer for Sierra Nevada. I wouldn’t recommend buying many of these. The SN IPAs are much better and more refreshing.

Jan 27, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra while watching Max Payne. They go well together. Interesting profile, but neither goes anywhere productive and end up leaving a bad taste in your mouth.

Jan 12, 2009 Slightly surprised to find this at my local supermarket in the depths of winter. Positive prior experience of Sierra Nevada’s offerings, and a general desperation for sunlight, encouraged me to indulge at an inappropriate time of year...
Smells great, and looks good until the head dissipates. Would love to try it on draught as I suspect this would be addressed. Nonetheless, tastes good if overly sweet and rewards patience with a reasonable aftertaste. I’m not going to make up a list of fruit which it vaguely resembles - this is beer, worth a crack on a summer’s day.
