12 ounce bottle from a friend. Pours a vibrant golden amber color with a medium head. Average head retention and good lacing. Bitter, leafy hops in the aroma with an apricot note. Taste is earthy, leafy with a bit of a citrus note and not much else. Crisp and medium bodied.

bottle - Pours clear copper with a thin white head. It has a light aroma of caramel malt and some slightly citrus accented hops. The flavor has some okay hops but it lacks crispness and character and is mild in every way. It is kind of watery too. While easily a better session beer than many macrobrews, it could be so much more.

Bottle from The Liquor Barrell in Benton, IL. The beer is a mostly clear yellow-gold color with a thin and rocky white head that dissipates quickly. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Light grainy malt and hops in the nose. Light body with a smooth texture and a sweet malty character. Touches of grain, fruit and milld floral hops. The finish is short and sweet with a pale malt aftertaste. Below average overall.

White head, gone in about 1 sec. Big-bubbled, fully hazy golden beer with greenish shine. Unpleasantly starting nose with vanilla and vomit. Later more garden herbs, mixed with some vegetable frying oil. Weird. Taste proves as weird as the nose: bitter (bittering hops); vegetable: sourish-wheaty; fruitjuiceconcentrate, thinned to the max. Spritzy & empty MF. Clashing aroma’s and flavours. Below par.

Thick, fine & dense white head, fed by very lively carbonated yellow-greenish beer. Discreet sweetish, grainy, and slightly fruity nose. Coriander-ish, but fast reverting to dull-sweetish taste. Finish is slightly sourish, wheat & citrus. Light MF, wheatslickness, rather refreshing. Unoffensive & unremarkable. Thanks, DaveDave!

12 oz. bottle. Just 26 ratings in 5 months? Surely a beer more discussed than tasted. Here’s a slightly hazy, slightly dark golden pour with a short layer of foam on top. General malt smell, nothing off about it. Light taste with a bit of "Wheaties" to it. Just a tad "crunchier" than the Goose 312. Can’t find the fruit taste other raters claim. Just a touch of hop spice. Nice summer beer.

Gold color and a thick white head. Light aroma of a lager with lager yeast. Some sour wheat but mostly lager flavor, some corn and adjuncts. Far from Point’s best.

Thanks to buckybeer for this one! Starts with a clear dark orange body that throws up a sticky white head. Malt and citrus aroma in a nice balance. Slight bitterness that moves into a nice soft dryness as it approaches the finish. Not a bad PA
