Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a bright yellow color with a huge creamy white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy,citric, grassy and perfumey. The flavor is tangy and a bit sour with grass and perfume notes. Short finish. Light body.

heheheh. Sure, this is special reserve alright. Pale ubiquitous yellow rolling, for the most part, sparkling visible carbonation. Initially, not bad on the taste buds considering my previous experiences with melanie. Aroma is rather processed. Pretty good tingly carbonation on the palate. Does have that typical cheap city brewing flavor, must be the water they use out there. Rather coarse background, just barely acceptable finish. On par with the light but this is just a little more personality, but not in a negative way. Found this to be a little more enjoyable than the light version.
