Clean pale color. Fairly lazy co2. Laid back attitude. A little leather in there. Very good beer for somebody coming off a pale lager.

On tap at the source Comes to the table a mostly clear light straw color with a smallish white head that displays moderate retention. The aroma is sweet bready pilsner malt with a solid hit of spicy hops to counter. The flavor follows the aroma, a sweet crisp pilsner maltiness countered with spicy floral hops. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick almost resinous mouthfeel. This was a really great beer today, it reminds me a lot of a German pilsner. The recipe must fluctuate a bit because I’ve had this before and was not blown way like I was today.

Served in an English pint glass at the brewpub, 1-19-2013. Clear piss yellow color. Thin white soapy head. Nose is almost nothing at all. Flavor is cereals with a light floral hop toward the backend. Before I ordered this I knew this brew is made to please the masses of young people who come into this establishment after 9 pm when tables are cleared off the dance floor and a DJ pumps up some music. Overall it’s not offensive yet it really has nothing to it.

A blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, light malts, non-descript. In mouth, a light malt with biscuitty notes, rather light and watery. On tap at brewpub, Dec. 27 2009.

On draught at the brewpub 5/20/2005 with Muzzlehatch. Well I sat and pondered whether this was a pale lager or a pilsener, not even paying attention to the yeast. Funny how indistinct American brewpub light ales can be. Might as well be a pale lager. Anyways, I will say that there are noticeable amounts of hops in this and it wasn’t terribly watery. Very little malt sweetness, just basic pale malt. But grassiness is in the nose, as well as a touch of minerals. Pale yellow color, maybe a silght chill haze, though mostly clear with an initial small white head that rapidly recedes to nothing, with no lacing. Flavor of white bread, bit papery, saaz-like hops floralness, some grassy bitterness and maybe an ever so slight touch of oranges. Light body, though not thin. Needs more malt. Finishes with a pleasing hops bitterness. I enjoyed it.
