Reviewed from notes. Poured from 12 oz. bottle into Tampa Bay Brewing Company pint glass.

A: A nice-looking gold color, fairly clear, with good visible carbonation and a one-finger white head.

S: Pale and cracker malts, and a bit of pine hops.

T: Cracker malts, some light hop presence (pine and bitterness).

M: Medium to light body, good carbonation sensation. A very pleasant drink.

O: Pleasant beer. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to seek one out, but as far as an easy-drinking, sessionable beer in a six pack, I'm glad to have them around. If they would can this, it would be perfect to take golfing.

A--this beer poured a semi-cloudy yellow straw color. the head was thin and wimpy and the lacing didnt last very long

S--didnt have a very strong smell at all...a little citrus, and just a bit of hoppy aroma

T--the taste belies the smell! very nice hoppy / citrus flavor...very good balance of the two

M--this beer was delightful on the palate...a light crisp finish with just the right amount of carbonation.

O--overall I could sit and drink a few..maybe more than a few of these..especially on a hot day...very refreshing...
