Nice pleasant golden with light flavors but nothing out of balance. Light sweetness, light spicy hops, and a solid doughy yeast presence. I like it.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear copper color with a medium sized white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of lightly toasted pale malts, herbal hops and a faint resiny note. The taste is lightly toasted grain with fruity and floral hops. Medium bodied - refreshing.

On tap. Pours golden with a thin, off-white head. Aroma of light hops and malts, slightly toasted. Flavor the same. Average texture. Not bad, but nothing special.

Elwood (2491) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - JUN 26, 2010
Serving: Draft at the brewpub
It pours a nice gold color with a small foamy white head. The nose is light and I don’t get much from it. The taste has slight cereal notes and a bit of of leafy hops. The body is light with average carbonation and a short to medium, dry finish. It’s not as good as their cream ale.

Rciesla (5499) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - JAN 22, 2010
Draft at the Brewpub. Pours a golden body with a thin white head. Bread y dry with some light earth toned hops, a light roll with some mild grain and hay tones. Sweet and simple, and okay.

boto (1661) - Granby, Connecticut, USA - DEC 23, 2009
Draught @ Brewpub: This one poured a clear golden color. It had a small white head on it, that left minimal lacing. The aroma was a bit mild. Some malts and grassiness. The taste is along the same lines. Some malts and a pinch of hops. Slightly sweet taste. Clean and easy to drink. A decent brew.

Alphadelic (1630) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAY 10, 2009
Light and headless, pale gold. Sweet but quite meek. Big lemony cereals. Sweet little hops and an element of dustyness. A long toasted finish. Slight tongue dryness with sweet citric topnotes. Refreshing and smooth.
