Pours a nice pale, but dark, straw color. Quite true to the "blonde" category. A two-finger head that laces like it should.

Malty, biscuity flavors, with a hint of honey. There is a slight creamy quality, a subtle richness that carries into the aftertaste, which is a bit on the sweet side. The finish is a bit fizzy, but doesn't totally lack in smoothness. The hops can be picked up on in the scent; a mild, citrusy note with a hint of a "grassy" note.

Not a bad summer sipper (or should I say guzzler...?) I drank mine rather quick, without realizing it. I'd say burgers with garlic toasted buns and homemade macaroni salad is in order.

On tap at Schooners Patio Grille in Santa Clarita, CA.

Pours a clear golden orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, grass, and hay. Taste is much the same with a sweet and slightly fruity finish. There is a very mild bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is drinkable and pretty tasty for what it is.
