From tap at the Pyramid taphouse in Walnut Creek. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light cornish and crisp hoppy. Light fruity and mild malt flavoured. Light bodied. Crisp bitter and dry finish.

Draft at the alehous in Walnut Creek. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of malt and citrus and vanilla - a bit odd. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and light notes of malt, leading to a lightly bitter finish. Boring.

Overall Impression: Decent beer I guess, a little too dull flavor, not the best thing Pyramid has to offer..

Bottle. Pours a yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is malts, hops, some fruit smell. Flavor is a light citrus, with malts, floral flavors, mild notes of fruit. Overall it is "okay" but it’s not great. I probably wouldn’t get it again for myself, but some friends who have less beer knowledge would probably find this to be a hit.

Deep blond color. Reminds me some German beer, but the poor ones, there is nothing special here.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow golden color with a medium white head that diminishes to very small. The aroma is floral with lots of malt and light hops. Decent lacing on this one with a very herbal flavor that is very easy to drink and a sweet honey finish. Nothing special with this one.

Obvious refried bean and lime aroma. Golden color, flat. Green bean flavor. Beany hop flavor. Unique but gross. Aptly named because I swung and missed.

On draught at Chili’s in the Houston airport. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-gold color with columns of bubbles and a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of mild hops and citrus. Light-bodied and effervescent with notes of hops, sweet malt and citrus. The finish is mildly bitter hops with a touch of spice in the aftertaste. Overall about what you would expect from a summertime beer from a brewer like Pyramid.
