Pours a medium golden hue into a pint glass with minimal head.
The aroma is not very strong, but what there is mostly sweet, light malt, perhaps almost fruity in aroma.
The taste is of very light malt, with barely a hint of hops. Slightly sweet.
The mouthfeel is exceedingly smooth, and the body is light and crisp. A really nice beer for a summer day, or any day for that matter.

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.
