Tap at the pathetic shipyard bar at Providence airport. Every other beer was kicked and staff no idea how to process this purchase. Anyways ending my week with son in RI. Apple juice looking gold lager. Nose is grainy. Tastes grainy grassy and devoid of much flavor. You wanted light you got this watery beverage

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a light gold color with a very thin white head that fades very quickly.
The smell had some light malts with a touch of caramel and a touch of hops.
The taste was sweet through flavors of caramel and a decent malt character, hops help bring a good balance.
The palate was light, crisp, clean finish, watery aftertaste.
Overall, it does the trick for what Shipyard wanted it to be, for me, a \"lawnmower\" beer.

Poured up on tap at the Orlando Shipyard Emporium with clear gold body and white head. The aroma has full fresh grainy goodness right off as well as a mild level of floral hops and really little else. I dig the crisp graininess and that the floral is a bit subdued. The taste has grainy malts along with a wort like character as well as slight floral hoppiness and a sense of yeastiness coating a wafer thin layer in the mouth.

Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Pale amber, minimal head. Mustardy paper aroma. Sweet and light bodied with a metalic edge. Some light grassy hops and vanilla detracts from the shortcomings of this too light beer, making it very drinkable. That metallic edge however keep reminding me of what I am drinking.

Eh, yuck. I even guessed that the beer was about 3% and I ended up being right. Didn’t really sit right with me, and ended up seemign to be pretty bland and lame.

Bottled
Pale yellow, small white head. Sugary, almost butterscoth - diacetyl aroma, slightly lemony. Light, carbonated palate, toffee flavors. Notes of soda in the finish. Light-weight also qualitywise. Very overrated here.

Pours a medium yellow, straw colored mostly clear and bubbly, decent foamy white head. Smells of mild malt and a bit of spicy hops. Opens up very clean and medium sweet, good clean barley malt, very distinguishable flavors. Moderately soft palate, slightly peppery at times. Balance is great, low alcohol does not seem to be a problem for flavor. Finishes with a nice mild fruity hops, definitely some peach and pear in there.
