Clear bright gold beer, little white head. A little apple on the nose. Semi dry and crispy palate. Dry lagerish malt. Apple dominates the fruit here, lesser orange. Dry finish. Meh! Seems a bit green which is unusual for an imported US beer!

Bottle at JF tasting, cheers James - 29/12/12. Lightly hazed pale golden with a thin white head that dissipates to the edge. Nose is pale malt, grain, barely, light citrus. Taste follows, pale malt central, light yawwwwn. Dull. Medium bodied, soft carb, a vague effort at some form of bitterness in the finish. Pretty bland - a rare example of a US beer gaining ’W’ accredition! Not one to revisit!

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a clear yelow with a lively, frothy white head. Odd minerally, vitaminy and somewhat yeasty aroma. Medium body, carbonation is a little excessive, sweet and fruity again with a yeasty touch. Hardly any bitterness. 301112
