12 ounce bottle from Badger in Beloit. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a thin white head. Below average head retention. Aroma of toasted grainy malts and a lightly sweet finish reminiscent of graham crackers. Faint herbal hops as well. The taste is tart malts and citrus hops. Some green apple and a bit of toastiness. Thin-medium bodied. Fairly boring but not bad.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Liquors in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on a nice early July Thursday night. Appearance looks pretty watered down, pale yellow with thin white head. Aroma of light yeast, slightly grassy, lemony, very summer like. A previous review stated pineapple in the nose and I agree. Taste of apricots (wasn’t expected at all) and pineapple, very fruity flavor, slightly tart, definitely goes down crisp with a very slight bitterness. Actually pretty decent stuff, not sure if I’d go back to it at all but I’m happy to have given it a shot. Also, this is reminiscent of Austin Homebrew’s Golden Ale recipe for mini mash, so if you like this beer and want to start homebrewing, get that recipe and it’ll be similar to this brew.

Bottle from Festival Foods. Pours a hazy orange-gold color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, sweet spices and malt. Light body with flavors of bready malt, coriander, citrus and mild hops. The finish is fruity with a sweetly spiced aftertaste. Decent beer overall.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is almsot nothing. Some malt and grain i guess. Flavor is a little better. Starts out with a dull malt then a bit of citrus hits you. Very light but easy to drink.

12 oz bottle sent to me by alagnak. Pour is a cloudy yellow with a bright white one inch head that falls quick. Not too much lacing. Aroma of grainy cracker malt and orange fruit. Some nice yeasty, mild clove spice in there as well. A touch of flint and mineral present as well. Nice full clean nose. Taste is sharp acidic citrus (much more orange or lemon peel than the fruit of the nose) out of the gate, with some clove spice and then the cracker grainy malt. Like the nose, natural and fresh - very unfiltered taste. Palate is full, yet light and drinkable with nice carbonation. Finish features the mineral earthiness from the nose. Nice one, thanks for thinking of me Chris - this was right up my alley.

Draft at the OF, served in an icy pint glass. Hazy tan-orange color with a big, foamy head. Light and fresh lemony aroma and taste. Smooth and watery, somewhere between light and medium bodied. Some vanilla nuances in there as well. No real hop character to speak of. Light malt sweetness, light orange zest.
