On draft at the brew pub. Copper color with a light white head. Light bodied and easy drinking.. Light malt.

Golden body without much head. Lemony nose. Very crisp and tickling mouthfeel. Crisp malt, mineral water, lemon, grass, pilsner-ish hops. Sampled at Vermont brewers fest 2006. Refreshing but forgettable. A nice pub summer beer… summer, somer… oh I get it. Clever.

Draught pint at the brewpub. Pours a surprisingly light golden-amber color, relatively clear with faint haze, lasting smallish creamy head....spicy, noble-hopped aroma, juniper and carroway and lots of caramel, faint nutty-seedy quality....mouthfeel is rather light for the style, but not at all weak, with strong rye character at the front shading nicely into a deep malty sweetness midpalate, then drying out for some crisp spiciness and grassy notes at the finish. All in all a fine addition to the lineup.
