Clearish golden yellow with a snowy white head that doesn't hang around long. Malty/grainy/sweetish nose, not much hops.

Now I know what Charlotte BAs drink when they're mowing the lawn. I'd have to agree - not a pils, but definitely a quaffable giolden ale. Some malty sweetness, with apple and pear notes, along with some nonobjectionable graininess. Finishes clean and slightly sweet, with slight hop presence. Bitterness is rather subdued. The blade needs sharpening, but otherwise the mower's fine.

I had out of a 12 ounce bottle.

A. It bubbly and clear gold. It has a limited head an no real lacing. Kind of American macro looking.

S. Not much of a scent at all.

T. It's certainly malty. Way too malty, in fact. Crisp and clear, just bland. Perhaps refreshing in the right instance, but no taste other than basic malt.

Had this from a bottle at the ACC championship game. Overall not one of my favorites, pale blonde color, very average smell and taste was that of a blonde ale with average ingredients. Overall not something I would recommend and really a let down as far as new beers go
