Pours a moderately hazy (definitely clearer than style average) dark golden, medium sized rather compact white head. Shoows quite good retention and lacing. Strong lemonish fruitiness upfront with lighter tangerine in the background, spiciness (can't pick up anything specific), a background base of white bread, slightly doughish. Overall relatively simple but clean and decently vivid. Taste shows a not too timid malty component with cereals, white bread and hints of honey; fruitiness still takes the main stage (mainly lemon), moderate spiciness, a relatively dry (at least per style) finish and aftertaste, with a hint of floral hoppiness. Light to medium bodied, average carbonation (surely lower than style average), goes down easily with a decent lively feel. A pleasant deviation from standard interpretations of the style; nothing special but overall nicely enjoyable.

Lovely looking pale gold with a bubbly white head and light malt on the nose. Some tart fruit, light malt and soft citrusy bitterness going on

Pour is a amber with a large tan head. Aroma is an ok grainy malt with a little brown sugar. Flavor is pretty much the same. Fresh crushed grain with a sweet caramel aftertaste. This beer has gotten horrible reviews. It's not that bad. Best as a bargain bin pickup for about a buck.
