12 oz. can from Total Wine - Daytona Beach. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and decent retention. Minimal lacing. Soft bready malt aroma. Sweet pale malt flavor with very little bready notes in the finish. Very clean and very crisp. Smooth too. Medium-light body. Not bitter. Not much of a blonde ale, but a very good pale lager.

On Tap at Payette Slight hazy on this medium golden pour. Fine and quickly receding head. LIght pale bready malt flavors. Some cereal anda littel honey. Soft light malt body is the player.

Taster at Payette taproom. This one didnt' fare much better than the lager. Clear golden with a small frothy head. Sweet aroma, grains. Honey kicks in at the taste, seemingly a bit much, along with a lingering metallic flavor that just lingers on and on. Hard to finish. Opinion: Based on the whole corporate feel of the brewer's page, it seems like this is all about marketing, without much care for the product.
