This golden colored ale pours with a rich white head. A touch of wheat malt and a mixture of Cascade and Willamette hops give this easy-going blonde a crisp refreshing touch.

Small white head over well-carbonated, faintly orangey golden beer. Grainy nose, faint citrus, not very exuberant. Fleetingly faint & fresh citrus, then malty flavours, pilsener malt and faintly toasted. Unleavened bread. Bit spritzy, lame palate. Bof...

12 oz can poured. Pours a clear golden yellow color with an oily fizz head. Fresh lemon and grainy hop aroma. Flavor is light and sweet, with a decent citrus hop presence towards the finish. Cool, refreshing beer. Not bad.

355 ml. can @ home. Purchased @ Caigny. Can says “4 04 11 A 1 B D” – is this a date? Clear pale golden, little head. Sweet aspirin, melon, lemon, sugar, lemonade, papier-mâché,… Taste is peach lemonade, watery, sugar, dull, papier-mâché, lots of watered down peach juice,… Weak watery sweetish brew. Very meh. I can see a non-beer drinking liking this. This something I can see AB-InBEv be interested in buying.

Can @ weekly tasting shared with Joes. Clear golden color, average sized white head. Aroma is malts, a bit sweet grainy and a hint of corn somehow, or at least that what it reminds me of. Taste malts, lightly grainy, sweetish and lightly bitter. Average body and carbonation.

Hazy pale blond color. Dry, light, lean, with light cereals flavor and ordinary bitterness; light citrusy touch; light paper feeling.
Too easy.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Light fruit aroma - very light. Med body. Flavor is a little acidic, perhaps citrus, with a wheat note. Clean, but not very interesting. Finishes fairly bitter.

Craft Clerkenwell. Martin T tasting. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, little white head. Light dry palate. Light papery pale malt. Forensic trace of citrus. Papery finish. Frankly a bit rubbish.
