Draft at the source. Crystal clear piss yellow. Aroma of grain, maybe honey. Nothing more.
Flavor is honey and.... and.... nothing else. Thin and watery. Water flavored beer.
More Brett. ..light sourness.

Bottle picked up at Beertopia Omaha, opened in Exira, Iowa. Hazy peach appearance with a white head. Pretty dry, grainy, crisp pale malty, grassy aroma. Tangy, light lemon citrusy, crisp, straw flavor with a dry finish. Pretty easy drinking.

12oz bottle. I would’ve thought Honey Ale. Hazy, unfiltered, orange-tan color. Mellow, easy drinking light side of medium-bodied, quite quaffable. Quite old school, but quite well executed as well. The honey does provide an excellent balance between the medium golden-sweet malt tones and the mild, soapy bitterness, with its sweet gloss. Easy, simple, spot on.

Thanks to Sledge Jr for this one. The pour reveals a brilliantly clear deep yellow body that forms a soapy, fleeting white head that patterns the sides of the glass as it falls. Sweet malt aroma with a heavy sourness. Maybe that’s the corn aroma everyone mentions in the rating descriptions for this style. I last smelled this in some beers from Ghana. Smooth, thin, sweet with an astringent finish. No honey character to this that I discern. Do I hear the lawnmower?
