Served in pint glass.

Light clear amber with a thin head that dispersed pretty quick and no lacing.

Smell is of faint graininess and that's it.

Light malt taste to it, a little bitterness at the end. I can not pick up any hop flavors in this.

Nice and crisp, easy drinking beer for those hot days or right after cutting your lawn. Not sure if this beer is past its prime but seemed pretty plain to me.

Golden pour, lots of clarity, 1/2" white head. Aroma wasn't hoppy, the hybrid yeast situation yielded sweetness.

Taste was a bigger than usual common (6.5%), but it was relatively disguised by the yeasty sweetness to the beer. Good stuff, definitely comparable to Anchor Steam. Good for summer weather. One of the sweeter SN beers I've ever had.
