pours out a nice clear golden color with a white head. this one is malty and sweet, hint of fruity note that kind of reminds me of apple, finishes with a hint of pine. not my favorite profile but a decent beer for sure!

Cloudy (bottle conditioned) dark gold color. Two-finger head on the initial pour. This leaves a couple of streaks on the glass.
Fresh crushed pale malt barley starts the aroma. I note a bit of cream and very light floral hop.
This is a deceptively easy beer to drink. I only note warming alcohol in throat well into the aftertaste. The flavor is pale malt up front. The moderate hop bitterness (particularly for the style) shows up predictably in the swallow. The body is soft with a fine carbonation. The aftertaste is nice blend of all of the above.

Had this from a 750ml bottle. Poured a nice golden orange color, finger of head that went away quickly. Not a whole lot of aroma coming off this beer, mild amount of hops coming through with some fruit. Almost a strawberry smell after a bit of warming.
This isn't remarkable, but it is tasty. It's a little sweet, reminds me of Flower Power that way. It's hard to put my finger on the taste of this, because there is just not a lot of aroma there. If I was hard pressed to say what the hops are like I would say a very mild citrus that is overshadowed by the beers sweetness.
Lots of tiny bubbles with this help deliver the flavor and keep it light enough to enjoy. Definitely a good beer, but not a great beer yet.
