look: 2 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A - Pale golden yellow color with a thin white head. Dissipates quickly with residual around the edge.

S - Has a light hoppy smell with maybe a hint of citrus. Not very strong which is not a problem for a "summer" brew.

T - Taste is light and hoppy like the smell. Good flavor that disappears quickly with no lingering aftertaste. Has a slight sourness to the taste.

M - First swig is full of extremely fine bubbles. Feels light and clean while still giving you some of the flavor.

D - Very drinkable on a hot summer day. Not overpowering but is refreshing enough to go for a second.

Got this one out of a 12 pack mix.

Pours a fairly clear, bright yellow color with an nice head that sticks around for about minutes. Not much lacing in my 512 pint glass.

Not getting much of a scent at all...a few spices...maybe a hint of lemon.

Getting some lemon, light malts, and grassy hops. Very light bodied with a lot of carbonation. Certainly goes down easy enough.

A pretty refreshing beer on a hot day. The low ABV makes it quite sessionable for a pool party. Probably a one and done for me though as there's nothing here that really stands out.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5

Bottled on date of 02/16/13

Appearance - Pours a clear, pale to golden yellow with a white finger width head. Fair retention, leaving a broken layer of microbubbles across the surface. Virtually no lacing.

Smell - Strong bready aroma, with touches of citrus, banana and hints of spice.

Taste - Bready upfront and throughout with bright citric undertones. Hits on a moderately bitter grass flavor near and into the finish.

Mouthfeel - Light in body with low carbonation. A touch on the watery side. Goes down well enough.

Overall - A solid brew. One I certainly don't mind drinking, but it's doubtful I'd buy it again. So many beers, so little time.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Pours golden with a thin head that stays for most of the duration. Little lacing.

The smell is a light lemongrass/orange touch with a hint of yeast.

The taste is a kiss of sweetness with a dry-ish finish. Pretty bland, but nothing distracting.

It is crisp and light, but not watery.

A "refreshing" brew. Crisp. Nothing offensive. Easy to drink. It's a light ale that leans towards a kolsch. Drinks easily enough.
