Tap @ Sun Up. Pours a clear, light golden appearance with an off white head. Sweet creamy malty, vanilla, a touch citrusy aroma. Spicy, chow mein (?), bready, funky fruity flavor. Strange but ok.

Orange pour from draft at deluxe in Phoenix. Medium body. Sweet flavor. A good session beer but not one I'd get again

savnac (2056) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - JAN 21, 2013
Draft @ Sun Up. Clear yellow with a pure white head. Aroma of cereal grain, honey and faint corn. Flavor is grainy malt, very light hop bitterness and a clean yeast profile. Light body with average carbonation and a clean finish. Great beer for the style, would go down great on Phoenix’s hot summer days.

steview (1011) - San Francisco, California, USA - SEP 19, 2012
Sampler. Grainy, pale lager-like. I’m definitely not a fan of this. Ironically, it tastes overhopped in the sense that it was made without enough body.

DiarmaidBHK (2274) - Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 24, 2011
Draft at brewpub. Pours golden with a thin white head. Leaves a lot of lacing in the glass Not much on the nose. Creamy mouthfeel. Solid for style but it’s not my favorite style.

(Sampled at the brewpub). Pours a clear golden color with white head. Moderate carbonation. Aroma has hay, florals, and some bready/cracker notes. Taste is sweet with some bittering hops. Light bodied with a creamy texture. Finish is slightly bitter a bit dry. Not bad.

Growler from scrivvv’s mom! Bright clear lighter gold with creamy white head. Lightly sweetened corn, husky grain, toast, touch of pepper. Lightly creamy, hints of lemon, husked grain, hint of corn, touch of sweetness...clean crisp and refreshing.

riversideAK (5413) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - APR 14, 2011
Soft grainy corny nose, somewhat bready, one might say sweet corn bread. Light fruity sweetness on the nose. Pours bright golden, nice creamy head and nice lace. Solid looking beer. Corn chips, light bready grain notes, dry and lightly earthy. Soft underlying sweetness, perhaps a touch of sulfur. Clean and drinkable. I like this style.
