Well: poured into a large sniffer the brew showed a white steady foam head. Aroma very malty and fresh. Very unpleasant aftertaste. Can´t say why... Average

12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Looks decent enough. Clear amber body, small creamy white head persists in good form throughout leaving a little lacing.
Malty aroma.
On tasting, malts dominate, but there is an unpleasant finish.
Mouth medium, finish a somewhat sour bitterness.
Overall, one of those beers that goes slightly downhill after the look.

Not bad. reminiscent of Hoegaarden, but not quite as satisfying. Kind of like a halfway point between that and a more straight ahead blonde ale. At the very least, it was inoffensive enough to be enjoyable.

Rating from notes. Consumed March 2013. "Fresh tasting, and you could do a lot worse for a blonde ale, but really just average overall."

Had a 20 oz serving at the Portland Maine brewpub on 9-6-19 for $8.59.
Beer was served golden with a solid white head.
Nose was cracker and lightly toasted malts.
Taste was crackers and toast balanced very well by beta hops.
Mouthfeel was medium bodied and kind of refreshing.
Overall not a bad change of pace beer to go with a mediocre cheeseburger.

Appearance
Creamy head, moderate lacing. Light amber orange with lots of bubbles rising. Polished.

Light caramel and pale malts, not much hops, slight Canadian beer whang.
Flavor
Balanced and crisp. Bitterness is soft, malt is on sweet side. More of an amber. Some diacetyl ans fusel alcohol perception. Very English.
Mouthfeel
Medium, well carbonated. No astringency.
Overall
Odd but tasty and satisfying.

OK, I guess every once in a while. I wish they provided a bit of Beer Info that might enhance my appreciation. Decent golden malt body. Just not my favorite hops profile, would probably be better in a darker ale... Decent bittering, yet nothing floral. I was expecting something reminiscent of Molson Red Export Ale, not quite. Does gets better as the hight goes on...
