Opened bottle to a very promising aroma: citrus, hops and honey. Pours a golden, foamy (thick) head. Nice malty flavors with medium hoppy kick. Very nice, although a bit expensive. Lots of nice complexities so it is worth it. $7.99 a six pack. 105%.

Bottle. Poured a llight clear with small but lasting white head. A light hoppy aroma. The beer is well balanced hop flavor that mixes the appropriate bitterness with flavor. Crisp, dry finish with slight grassy aftertaste. Slight flavor of malt is noted but not very strong. A very nice summer beer.

Golden Color, very crisp and light with a medium hoppiness, really just perfect for a hot summer day.

On draft at the Gingerman. Poured a medium gold with good lacing and with a lightly almost wheaty, malty smell with a touch of hops and sweetness. Very nicely balanced, yet simple and subtle smell. Taste at first is a nice crisp lightly bitter hop bite, followed by a smooth honey malt taste in the finish. Very refreshing and perfect for a summer day. Nicely carbonated and just what a crisp refreshing summer beer should be. Simple, but done very well.

Pours a clear gold body with a white head. The aroma is of cereal, creamed corn and a bit of caramel. Flavour of slight citrus, some corn flakes, light sweetness.

Pours a light golden color. Smells like a simple lager and tastes like one too. Not bad if you like Lagers, not a fan.

Bottle. Orangey golden with a creamy little head. Spicy and grassy hop aroma. Good grassy flavours, hay on a malty base. A bit short finish. Medium body, above average carbonation. Refreshing.
