5oz on tap at Smoky Mountain in Gatlinburg. Light pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma is light sweet malts, touch of crispness. Sweet malt, light crisp notes. Easy drinking, perhaps a touch sweet but drinkable.

Bottle from brewery. Light, slightly fruity, barley malt aroma. Clear medium gold with a small white head. Biscuity malt, and very light grassy hops flavor, and a touch of fruitiness.. Light body, moderate carbonation. Nothing special, but a pleasant sessionable beer.
