12 oz. lightly hazy yellow with fizzy bubbles that died fast in my pint glass. Aroma is light grain, lime and citrus peel.
The flavor is mostly citrus, lemons, limes and pale malts. Hints of hops with a low bitterness. Lemongrass gives a light herbal tone. The body is light with a tingle of liveliness on the tongue. The citrus and light grain make a easy to drink summer brew, simple and straight forward.

Reviewed from notes and had this when it was called Celsius.
The appearance was a hazy yellow colored body with a light yet foamy lumpy white head. The head lasts about a good minute. There are a ton of bubbles up the sides of the pint glass. A decent amount of carbonation gently rises from the bottom.
The smell has hops up front with light citrus backing it up. Some malts come in as the beer warms.
The taste is tangy yet sweet sort of lemon combined very nicely with the malts, some coriander and lemongrass comes out as the beer warms.
The palate is light, smooth, crisp, and drinkable.
Overall this is another good beer from Baxter’s. Get to the head of the grill line!

Can at Brewdown. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Nose and taste of lemon malt, grass and light bread. Lighter medium body.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Lemon/lime aromas. Crisp with sour lime front to back with a lasting bitter lemon pith finish. Little too much on the citrus...
