Pours a very pale golden yellow color. Medium-large white head, rockier than the Pilsner version, which I tried just yesterday, but still mostly fine foam. Mildly cloudy, less so than the Pilsner. Little to no lacing, bubbles dissipate quickly. The aroma is lightly floral with some sweet lemon flavor. Simple malt sugariness. The malt is subtle and nice. I’m not getting any caramel or deeper malt flavors. The taste is crisp and light. Mildly sweet. Very fresh malt flavor. Just a bit of husky grain flavor in the finish, along with some mild lemon tartness, possibly from the light hopping. Clean. Prickly, light mouthfeel. Very light, really. Refreshing beer. Seems like a solid malt choice if you want to let other flavors shine.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy light gold with a slight white head. Aroma is grainy. Med minus body. Flavor is grainy/pale malt with a hint of citrus/spice hop. Interesting.
