Picked up at Woodman's West as part of the Tommyknocker Mother Lode sampler 12-pack.

Pours a nice golden yellow with minimal head. Nose is malty and hoppy, expected for an all-malt lager. Taste is heavy with malt, with some caramel sweetness and a slight hop bite. Body was heavier than I would have expected from appearance and its name. A solid step up from a macro lager, but I would probably reach for any of the other Tommy's in the sampler before this one. Still a solid beer that is sessionable and refreshing on a hot day.

This is a very fruity and sweet type of beer that resembles and ale more so than a typical lager beer. The hop levels are very low and it is predominantly malty and fruity. Not a bad beer but not the thirst-quenching type of lager you want to pair with some spicy food.

Gold color, not much clarity, 2/5" white haze. Aroma was mute.

Taste was close to mute. Slight bitterness and toasted malt flavor going on, very minimal.

Basically this is gateway from light beer to light ale.

Can tell its not pasteurized, with a rather murky hoppy flavor. If it was pasteurized, it would probably get rated much lower, because its middle of the road.

Solid pale lager. Nothing too remarkable or unusual, but very tasty and one of their better beers. Not a very typical style any more, but worth having when you want something in this realm.
