ben4321 (2990) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - OCT 6, 2012
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 10/5/12

Aroma: This beer has a nose of light grass, some malts, and some yeast
Appearance: This one pours a clear almost watery, white wine looking type of color
Flavor: The flavor has a clean, light sweetness and some light hops as well for a good balanced flavor
Palate: The body is pretty light, it has a smooth feel on the mouth, and average carbonation
Overall Impression: I can’t imagine ever really craving this, or wanting to order one again with so many more interesting offerings on the menu, but I thought this was a pretty solid light ale.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Poor head retention. Aroma of grassy hops and grainy malts. The taste is grassy hops and faint bready malts. Thin-medium bodied.

decaturstevo (4075) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - JUL 18, 2009
Gold pour with a creamy white head and lace. Aroma is almost wheat like. Sweet malt flavor with a back side funk that is ok. Medium bodied but a bit foamy. A drinkable beer.

HoppityHop (158) - New Jersey, USA - APR 4, 2008
On tap, this pours with a foamy head and excellent lacing. Aroma is mostly malty and nothing extremely noteworthy. However, there is a crisp and enjoyable flavor that lasts the entire way down the glass. Can we say session?

Light on color and flavor. Like drinking water. This was the first one I drank, but I never really tasted it.
