A: Poured a cloudy yelloe with a nice white cap leaving behind nice amount of white bubbles

S: Pretty tame. Some light floral and grassy hops

T: Starts with a floral and grassy hop profile, perhaps some lemon in there too. Sordove muddy and astringent midtaste. Not much going on. Not bad tasting but I have had some really good Lagers lately(Big E and Silver City) and they really dwarf this beer.

M: Perhaps a tad bit overcarbed, light body, grass and some fruits, light booze

O: I can drink Lagers and Pils all day but ha;fway through this I was ready for something else

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a slightly hazy yellow, with a very slight golden tint. An inch of sharp white head that dissipated quickly, leaving a slight bit of lacing.

A very neutral aroma was slightly sweet with just a hint of a hop tang at the back. The flavor was much more assertive than the aroma led me to expect. A smooth, even malt base greets you and leads you to his gently sharp friend, the hop, at the back of the tongue. A very pleasant taste that is neither bland nor overpowering.

A decent amount of body for such a light beer. This is at the top of the drinkability scale. Whether you've just finished yard work, are having a session at the tavern or just need a pleasant beer to go along with a meal, this beer is your friend. A job very well done by a brewery that is gaining in popularity and growing nicely.
