On-tap 8/4/13 at the brewpub in Willimantic, CT, served in a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma is faint but contains caramelized malts, some citrus and some hops.

T: The taste starts out very bready with a hearty malt character for the style. Then some mild caramel and citrus sweetness comes in. The hops presence is mild but complementary and brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly bready.

M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.

O: Tasty, goes down very easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a solid beer to session with for a long time.

A - poured with a small head of white foam on top of a clear, golden body. The head dissipates quickly and leaves average lace.

S - light, sweet malt and a hint of herbal hops.

T - sweet, grainy malt and some herbal hops with little else going on.

M - medium body moderate carbonation, and a slightly sweet finish.

D - not real complex, but well made and beyer than average for the style.
