A - poured with a small head of white foam on a clear, golden body. The had settles quickly and leaves decent lace.
S - light malt and some fruity, cider like character.
T - grainy malt some apple up front. Light malt with a touch of honey in the finish and very mild herbal hops.
M - medium body, average carbonation, and Dry finish.
D - light, drinkable a bit too cider like for my taste, but decent for what it is.

Not much head, but there was good lace on the glass. Straw color and hazy.
The aroma is off; it reminds me of a Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic--like a malty Sweettart.
There must be a high percentage of adjuncts in this beer. It tastes grainy with absolutely no hop to the tongue. Lots of carbonation and quite watery.
Overall, a definite miss.

So my first night in Charleston and I will go for the full lineup here, why the hell not right. First off what is this beer. Golden yellow in color with no head, no lacing and no carbonation, just not starting out right needless to say. The aroma was bready grains, light malt and a stale, almost musty hop note. More carried over into the flavor was was tolerable at best, and i mean at best. This was really nothing to right home about. Even feel was too light to even mention. Needless to say if I was home I would not have gotten this and the first offering of the night goes down rather poorly

Pours into the glass a very pale yellow. Looks like carbonated water with a tinge of color. Head is nonexistent.
Smells of light grain husk, corn (DMS), and just a hint of grassy hops.
Flavor is also nonexistent... tastes like carbonated water with a slight hint of grain and the signature AB-style raunchy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is watery, slightly dry in the finish. Carbonation is far too low for this light of a beer... often light beers can make up for flavor and mouthfeel through ample carbonation. Not this one.
In true light beer style, one could slam a ton of this. But opt for something tastier if you visit this brewpub.
