Rather light pee-yellow color... bubbly, clear..

Smell is a very mild.. some citrus hop.. but not much. Little barley and/or malt..

Taste is about the same... watery.. cream malt and weak hop.

Like drinking gatorade... would be a nice growler or two while fishing. Would certainly drink this over some nasty Corona for sure. I only got this because my girlfriend wanted me to get it for her since all she can really drink is this and Widmer's Hefe.

Similar in design to Main Street's Demented Duck Amber but with a deliberate withholding of body and pizzazz. The aroma is of moist pizza dough and golden malted grains. Color is vivid gold with refined clarity - more of a thin ESB color than a strawbale blonde. Casual sweetness and wooden nuttiness intertwine artfully with spiked bittering accents but no appreciable hop presence. And not a mote of head or lace.

Assertive flavors in relaxed measure make this a good choice for your friends in need of a crossover beer.
