16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 4/16/2019. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy pale golden straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of pear, red apple, wood, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of pear, red apple, wood, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pear, red apple, wood, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is a very nice blonde ale. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great clean pale malt/grain showcase; with nice earthy hop presence/balance, and restrained yeast fruitiness. Not overdone on adjuncts. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Would be a great summer brew.

Bottle. Roasted corn and barley malt aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet cooked corn and barley malt flavor. Okay - very corny.

Bottle pour into shaker. Light yellow with small head. Nothing bold about the taste . . . very light without tasting thin or watery. I am not a light beer drinker, but if I chose to be one I could drink this regularly.

On tap at The Boat House, Cheboygan. Hazy yellow body, thin to medium tight off-white head. Floral, grassy nose. Acidic body, spicy and citrusy with lemon and biscuit. I much prefer the Lighthouse Amber.
