12 oz bottle, from a brewery sampler pack. Pours a chillhazed, golden lager body with a small offwhite head that lasts only seconds before dropping to some collar and film. Minor patch lace.
Aroma is subdued, with notes of grainy, sweet malt and a wisp of floral hops.
Mouthfeel has high carbonation and a light medium body.
Taste typifies an average microbrewed lager. Mildly sweet caramel malt with restrained floral hops bittering. Not much of a taste, ala one of the macro lagers, but somewhat better. This one is more about the carbonation than the flavors.
A decent palate cleanser after a couple of Belgian ales, but this is a rather undistinguished, American microbrewed lager.

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.
