Aromas our cereal, citrus and hints of barnyard. Flavors are similar to and much better than nose. Citrus resolves into grapefruit hops. Hints of the barnyard are still there though. Hey - Wisconsin. Finish follows flavors and is slightly more sweet than bitter with soft carbonation.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a large but transient foamy white head. Aroma is hard to parse - it's not complicated - I just can't place the pieces. Seems somewhat citrusy. Med body. Fairly dry. Soft carbonation. Saaz bitterness, but not strong. Well, it is a blonde ale.

Can shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Clear, dark gold, nice sparkle, ring of head w/good persistence, no lacing. Aroma is strong pale malts, mild Pilsner malt, hint of fruit, baked boule. Taste follows aroma with finish Noble hop character. Smooth, average-to-lively carbonation, finish as taste. Excellent strength for the style.

Can from Tavour. Pours very hazy gold with a decent foamy white head that laced a bit. Aroma of white grape and passion fruit. Med body with foamy carbonation. Juicy, but the passion fruit seems to prickle the sugar down. Decently bitter. Citrus comes along after the other flavors wash away, and then there's an earthy note. Great flavor.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a moderate white head that laced down. Aroma is juicy tropical - to include mango. Med body. Juicy but not sweet. Moderately bitter. Not dry but ... Flavor is mango, citrus, pine and likely more. Flavor approaches intense. Too bad it only approaches, because the flavor is very nice.
