Had this on tap last weekend down in MD. Pours clear gold in color with a small white head; decent to weak lacing that went down pretty fast. Smells malty with some citrus and light hops. Tastes of sweet malt, apricot, citrus hops, light caramel and orange or lemon zest; pretty tasty beer. Mouthfeel is very light and crisp, and it was almost watery. Very high drinkabilty, this went down very easy, but was a little too basic (aka dull) in flavor.

Nothing special about this brew, light, easy drinking lager. Reminds me of the beer my Dad would drink in the 60's an 70's. An every man's brew. So light and refreshing I can put away at least 4 and not even notice I was drinking beer. I'd recommend this to the light hearted beer drinkers of America.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is very mild, some malts. Taste is crisp. primarily malts with some hops. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and has average drinkability. Overall this makes for a pretty good beer.

Consumed 10/13/2009- from notes.

A buddy left this one in the fridge over the weekend so here we go.

Brown 12oz bottle poured into a shaker glass.

A- Clear washed out gold color with about a one finger bubbly white head that faded pretty quick. Pretty much no lacing. Very, very mild carbination.

S- A little grassy, a little sweet.

T- Like the nose with the addition of a light bread/biscuity taste.

M- Light to medium bodied, fairly smooth with its lack of carbination.

D- Very easy to drink, easily sessionable if your looking for a BMC alternative.

A 12 ounce brown bottle poured into a shaker glass. Appears a clear golden straw color with about a finger of quickly fading bone white foam. Smells and tastes of lightly toasted grains, grassy hops, sweet corn, and a bit of sweet malt. A tad thin bodied, but amply carbonated. Worth a try.
