This is a pale ale which is brewed with a small amount of crystal malt to give a lighter body and a golden hue. Czechoslovakian hops lend a light bitterness and a flowery, hoppy aroma.

06/21/05- On tap via samplers at the Firehouse Brewing Co, in Rapid City, SD.
Presentation- Sampler 4oz glasses sampled 3 times.
Appearance- Very light pee yellow coloring. Light head and light lacing.
Smell- Just a tad of malt and some light floral hops in the nose. Light, but good scent.
Taste- Mainly a nice malty background with a touch of fruit and light hop tang.
Mouthfeel- Just a bit watery, but otherwise, medium carbonation and very crisp.
Drinkability- Crisp, clean, dry and refreshing on a very hot 104 degree day. Better than average blonde ale.

Written From Notes Compiled 6/04-8/04:
Very light brown color, no head at time of serving. Doesn't Smell like much, served too cold. Light body, with noticable, but not prominant hops, tastes very lager-like. OK at best, not one of the better beers at Firehouse.
