Our lightest beer . A great organic beer. With an exceptionally crisp palate, this ale balances the light malt palate with a subtle bitterness. This ale is an ideal beer for those unaccustomed to micro-brewed beers. Made with pale, wheat, carastan and carapils malts. Hopped with Cascade, Saaz and Tettnang hops. Made with pride and great taste from the worlds first certified organic brewery.

Muddy-looking. Ugh. Vague pale malts. Not much carbonation at all. Herbal hop accents. A weak attempt at a weak concept.

Bottle. Pours pale amber gold with small foamy white head. Grainy faint aroma. Light malty flavour with not much finish. Finish that is there is slightly malty. Maybe a starter beer for someone trying to get off the industrial liquids, but not much more.

Bottle. Slightly hazy orange gold color with a decent off-white head. Aroma is citrus floral hop. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel in a light way with citrus and floral hop notes. Finishes somewhat astringent. Could be a rough ESB. It will definitely do.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cookies, caramel malts and a bit sugary. Flavour is quite much the same along with some doughy and grassy hints.
