Pretty pale when pouring into a clear glass, with some light yellow coloring. The smell isn't strong, but hints at orange and honey with a touch of hoppy bitterness.

In the mouth, this one is quite smooth, but like the scent, the flavor isn't overly strong, though that flavor grows the more you drink. Speaking of flavor, at first there's a slight rush of citrus, but then upon swallowing a smooth bitterness takes over and lays on the tongue for a while. There is a little sweetness at first, but it doesn't last long.

I can't say this one is a favorite, but it's a pretty decent beer. I could see serving this one at parties, or just sitting around drinking one while watching TV. A great beer? No, but it is a good beer.
