On tap at brewpub:
Pours nice and clear light golden. Trickles of bubbles rise to support a decent lace producing white head.
Nose is light with grain, grass, and a bit of a sweet accent. Has an impression of a slightly more bitter adjunct lager.
Taste when cold (ice as they served it) was slightly grassy bitter but not much else. Warmth brings a little more bitterness along with some grain and more adjunct lager sweet notes.
Feel isn't too smooth on this light beer, the carbonation is fairly prickly.
A simple drinking beer, not easy to love, but hard to hate. It's a little better and a bit more bitter than the average AAL.

Apparently this beer is not retired, because I just had it over at the Merrifield location.
A: Mildly cloudy, straw color, with a light foamy head that dissipated within seconds.
S: Faint puffs of yeast, with a bit of sweet bread on the forefront.
T: Thin-bodied, with a bit of a Corona-like quality. This sort of tasted like the fizzy yellow stuff that Stone Brewing always warns us about... but with a little more fruitiness than that.
M: Cool whip type creaminess, well carbonated, and with a pleasant lingering sweetness. The lacing was moderate.
O: Not bad, not great... somewhere in between. I would not seek this one out again.
