A: Purchased from the Charleston Beer Exchange, poured a clear golden color with a 1/2 finger white head in my tulip glass. Pretty decent retention at first with minimal lacing
S: Grassy hops, some yeast, malt and a hint peppery spice. Weak nose overall - similar to Glissade
T: Mild malty sweetness. Hard to pick out the flavor due to blending of flavors with a mild earthy hop flavor. The hops are subtle but provide a nice balance, although I find this libation a bit bland for my liking.
M: Medium bodied. Fair amount of carbonation. Earthy finish
D: An easy drinking beer, could certainly have several of these, but not enough taste to keep me interested. (Not a big summer ale guy anyway)

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.
