Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of sweet grain, especially grain. Tastes of sweet grain and some fruit. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Golden and slightly hazy with a white head. I can't get much aroma. Taste is some cracker and a slightly sour fruit. There's a light but crisp hop finish. Body is medium light. Overall, not a bad summer beer.

Pours a hazy pale light yellow from the hand, loose 1" of head, light lacing. Nose is lemon, bread dough, cracker, light floral hops. Taste follows with cracker, light hops, very dry, slightly vinous finish. Carbonation is incredibly crisp and refreshing. Highly enjoyable!

Poured from an undated 16oz can.
On the pour a 3 finger bone white lightly fizzy head forms then slowly dissipates to a foamy covering and ring around the glass. The body is surprisingly hazy, and the bottom of the can carries more haze. Light carbonation and some decent lacing.
Aroma is light and corny but with a fresh and bright but very subtle American hop note, similar hop levels to a traditional pils, but they're American instead of noble. Some crackery malts also come through similar to a pils. Slightly more yeast character than a lager but it goes well woth the light hopping.
Flavor is almost dead on to the aroma with the American hops becoming more apparent and the malts becoming even crackerier. The yeast has a long finish but it's very bready and clean. There is a slight bitterness but the hops are almost all aroma.
Feel is light and easy drinking, but mouthcoating and a bit dry. Something light with a bit more nuance and a good long finish. Leaves you feeling crisp. Once the finish finally ends however its gone. Very clean.
Overall this is my first good cream ale, and honestly this is like an American lager, just improved. Still very drinkable but hops are actually detectable and its very fresh and crisp. The adjuncts aren't obvious, and this gives me American pilsner vibes almosts.

Clear, straw colored body; dense, tiny bubble, lively carbonation; thick, billowy head, white and sticky. Very nice nose; grainy with a light waft of herbal tones; pear. Delicate grain sweetness in the flavor; slight fruity character; very low hop bitterness. Light body; soft; well-attenuated leaving a nice overall dryness.
This is a wonderful warm weather brew and would be great for any season when you just want an easy drinking, light body ale.
Pouring temperature: 44 °F; canning data: n/a
