I’ve passed over this brewery countless times but in these dire times and for chance of new brewery tick today is the day. Amber pour small head. Nose is caramel and brown sugar. Tastes the same plus some cardboard and cobwebs. Odd mouthfeel like a soda almost.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a slight white head. Aroma seems very lightly bready with some very light citrus. Not even medium body. Flavor is kind of like the aroma. It's barely bitter. Still, it's pretty good for reduced gluten beer.

Bottle. Has a small amount of bandaid nose in there. Looks like any other pale beer. This company is pretty good at making beer that taste like beer from ingredients that are not beer. Not bad, comes across just like another civilized pale wannah bee lager for the most part. Decent good co2 cutting thru. Yes, rather refreshing in its own rite. Hides alky rather well. Could drink a couple of these. In the ends, hop effect is more like a smooth noble hops lager rather than an ale and I'm glad of that. No real sign of bandaid in the finish, thank you.

Bottle from World Market. Slight hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is floral, but also very cardboardy. Flavor is floral, citrus, cardboard, burnt malt. It's not bad, and I suppose it works better than other gluten free beers I've tried, but thankfully I don't have Celiac's.

Bottle from World Market. Pale gold with a tiny white head. Aroma is wet cardboard, bread. Flavor is wet cardboard, healthy cereal with no flavor, hose water, light glue. If I had celiac's, no way I'd turn to this.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 8/25/2017. Pours sightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange, citrus zest, wheat, cracker, white bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of citrus hops and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange, citrus zest, wheat, cracker, white bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild grassy/zesty hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, citrus zest, wheat, cracker, white bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of citrus hops and pale malt flavors; with nice malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a nice blonde ale. All around nice robustness and balance of citrus hops and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the minimally bitter finish. Nicely flavorful and not too watery for the ABV. This would be a nice summer beer. A nicely enjoyable offering, and great style example.
