On tap at Taylor Brewing. Poured clear, bright golden with a short-lived sticky cap of white head. The aroma picked up artificially-sweetened honey and spicy fruit.. quite sweet overall and not very interesting. The flavor found sweeter honey and floral notes with a grainy, very sweet finish.. some toffee and more fruit with warmth.. meh. Sticky and sweet on the palate with a lighter body.. long, non-offensive but non-enjoyable finish.

Contract brewed by Capital Brewery, Middleton, WI

Middle-of-the-road golden with a creamy white and holding head. No distinctive aromas save a touch of grain and grassy hop. Light bitterness in flavor with a thin mouthfeel. Sub par.

This poured a golden color with good carbonation and a fizzy white head. It smells very sweet, almost candy-like. It’s watery in the mouth, but delivers a sweet malt taste with a dash of bitterness in the finish. Not too bad.

This beer has a very nice balance. The first taste is very sweet, then a slight was of hops across the middles of the tongue, then the sweet returns. Definitely a nicely drinkable beer.
