Bottle. Blonde color. creamy white head. Smells of bread, resin and butter scotch. Taste is similar. Nothing like a cream ale IMO, but OK.

Bottle. Pale yellow with a modest off-white head. The nose is grassy and a bit floral, light hops, some sweetness. The taste is lightly sweet, a little bitterness. Watery, simple finish. The palate’s simple - light with moderate carbonation. Overall, OK, but forgettable.

Bottle 2 of my CT tasting week. Pours hazy yellow with blan aromas. Taste is yeasty, of straw, grains, bananas, grass. Touch of bitterness but too watery. My wife enjoyed a lot though

12oz bottle. Aroma of pale and slightly sweet malts with a little bit of floral hops. Flavor about the same. Average texture. A decent light beer.

Clean sweet grass aroma. Delicious and refreshing. Cloury golden with a great white head. Light biskity finish.

Poured from bottle. Aroma of lemon and yeast. Cloudy gold, thin head persists. Flavors of lemonade, grass, cream and more lemonade in back. Reminds me of the radler (beer and lemonade mix) I tried in Germany. Nothing amazing here, but definitely refreshing on this hot summer day.

Hazy amber color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of malt, & grassy hops; Flavor of slight sweet malt, grain, and some hops; Not bad overall.

Thanks to HikerCT for this bottle. Served in a tulip. Pours a very, very clear light straw color with a thin white head. The head immediately recedes and doesn’t leave much of anything behind. The nose carries a very light amount of grain and straw; nothing too much else. The flavor is light grain and straw. There’s a touch of very light hopping, but really not all that much. Light body with moderate carbonation. Some bitterness in the finish. Okay. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-06-2011
