    Bright golden. Thick head. Sweet, malty, almost bready aroma, with some spicy hops. Light-medium body. Sweetly malty with not a lot of hop character at all.

    Bright golden, moderate carbonation. Thick head. Sweet malty aroma. Medium body. Lots of fresh sweet malt flavor with just a hint of hops and maybe a dark fruitiness.

    Very very pale, very low carbonation, OK head. Some mercaptan odor from sitting in a boot in the sun. Smooth, sweet, bitter late. OK beer.
