Found this one down in St. Louis and had it hanging around since then. Hopefully it's not past its prime. Pours into my glass a nice deep golden yellow color with active carbonation and a half inch of bone white head on top. So far so good! Aromas start off with light grains with a touch of lemon. Lightly toasted with a mellow grassy hop aroma. Slightly spicy as well. Fairly nice, yet unassuming.
First sip brings light grainy malts touched by a bit of lemon zest. Crisp, clean with a very light toast. Flows down with some spiciness in there along with a hit of grassy hops on the back of the palate. A nice easy drinking brew.
Mouthfeel is rather light, however ample carbonation ups the ante and provides a nice flow across the palate. Easy to drink and refreshing. I could drink quite a bit of this on a hot day. Nothing spectacular here, just a good straight up no frills blonde ale. Glad I picked up a bottle of this to sample.

Sexy lil pour of lite amber / golden yellow topped off with a nice white cap. Left sticky rivers of lace all the way down my taster glass.
Subtle aroma notes of a hoppy malt lead into a quenching quaff, suggestive of a pale ale lite. A good maltly backbone finishes with a semi-hop pop.
Crisp and dry, this makes for a good summer drinker, as the lite body slides well paired with the summer heat. The low alcohol will keep you standing after a sixer.

A bright clear light amber color with a moderate foamy white head that disipates quickly to just a rim of lace.
A mild sweet malt aroma with just some hint of grassy/herbal hops.
The taste is also mild bready malt, slightly sweet, followed by some grassy/citrus hops for a slightly dry clean finish.
Light bodied, drinkable, nothing too spectacular but definitely worth a try for a hot weather refresher in spite of a pretty "generic" looking label..

Brewed once a year. I picked up some at Lukas Liquors in Ellisville, MO.
A - It poured out an orange color with a white, fizzy, one-finger head. No lace to speak of.
S - It smelled quite sweet and had a grainy smell.
T - The taste was of sweet malt and grains. There is also a subtle dose of Cascade hops.
M - It was crisp and dry. A light-bodied beer.
D - This is a pretty good beer. It is rare but if I see it again I would pick it up again.
