look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

I believe this beer is actually the "Jon Boat" now that it is one of the regular rotators.

A: One finger head. Golden and hazy.

S: typical grain and bready aroma.

T: surprisingly less bitter than I expected. Crisp with the grain and bread dominating taste with hop notes.

M: smooth and light bodied. Moderate carbonation. Semi dry finish.

O: easy to drink. Semi dry. I have only had a few of this genre but for the genre this is a very good representative.

Serving type: on-tap

Introduced at the 2011 Jacksonville Jazz Festival, this new seasonal is intended to become a regular in Intuition's line-up.

Pours a hazy golden with a remarkably durable off-white head.

The aroma is somewhat malty with a clear but mild hop presence. It tastes slightly sour with citrus notes and a mild hop+malt finish.

M - Surprisingly creamy mouthfeel given the quite adequate carbonation.

O - rather tame and mild for my tastes most of the time, but as a light summer seasonal this really hits the mark. I'm pleased to see something other than a wheat beer or near tasteless light beer offered as a summer beer. Consuming this during a hot evening as the Jazz Festival, my only real complaint was that it was gone too quickly.

Serving type: on-tap
