3.4Can at home just some super market grabs. Clear lighter gold frothy head. Nose is light malt some spice. Tastes of pale malts, caramel, honey, light spice and floral. Straight forward gold but no issues.
2.2Sessionable golden is an interesting combination. A little sweetness, a little lemon, but this is most just a grassy, easy forgettable beer. Maybe good for the lawnmower. Tried at the Mode Shift party with Dave in 2018 during Omaha Gives.
3.1Can. Pours a golden color. Aroma is honey, and some small citrus like hops. Mouthfeel is slick. Light hoppy. Light sweetness. Light bodied. Average carbonation.
2.0Sampled from a can this beer poured a bright yellow gold color with a large foamy yellow white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was dry with grain and cracker notes. The flavor was dry grain and cracker. Medium length finish. Light body
4.3Dayblazer has a thick, white head, a hazy, straw-gold appearance, some bubbles, roiling tiny tan sediment bits, and moderate glass lacing. Aroma is of white bread and a bit 'o honey. Taste is similar, with a medium body. Crisp finish. RJT
3.4Can - light and refreshing. A bit like a coots light with a nice citrus twists.
3.8It’s good man. It’s just a simple brew, easy to drink with a grapefruit backbone and a little more hop characteristic than usual.
3.0Can at Misconduct. Hazy gold with white foam. Head disappeared quickly. Midway between a Golden Strong Ale and a wheat beer. Not much offensive but not much to write home about. Oranges. Bagels. Corn nuts. Modestly full-bodied for what is otherwise a session brew.
3.0Tallboy Can from Safeway in Redwood City, CA. Aroma is clean and golden something (not sure what). Taste is clean corn syrup, some mineral water and maybe some hay. Pretty clean and drinkable.
2.9lightly sweet, very mild. suits the name well. but the flavors are just bit off. its a nice sweetness but the finish has just a touch of bready malt which just doesn't meld together
4.2Very refreshing, easy to drink summer ale. I like it year round.
2.9It’s basically a craft Bud Light with a touch of oitrus and sweeter bite. Medium to high carbonation with short lived foam head and light yellow color. Drinkable but not what you would expect in a craft. Best discription is that it’s a transition beer for those moving from Bud or Miller to card beers. bread, citrus, dough,
3.5They call his the easy going ale. And I have to agree. Light and crisp with a breads finish.
3.1Can, straight from the packaging area at the brewery. Thanks guys! Mostly clear golden pour with a fluffy (at least initially) white head. Bready. Hints of citrus and honey sweetness. Nothing flashy about this, but its a decent everyday drinker.
3.8Sweet bready malt and honey cereal aroma, floral hops
Pours a clear golden color with small frothy white head.
Bready and light citrusy flavor with light honey.
Light bodied high co2, crisp but sweet bready finish.
Enjoyable light ale. Could drink all day.
2.912 oz can from Kroger in Short Pump, VA the ale poured a clear light amber with a small off white head. The head quickly dissipated and there was no lacing. Aroma of crystal malts with bready overtones. The taste has a sweetness from the malts and maybe the honey. The ale has a medium body with soft carbonation. This is another easy to drink beer more for the summer time.
2.7Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of grains, yeast and some toast. Taste isn’t really much some malts and a hint of fruit
3.011-23-17 can at rob & kris's thanksgiving
2.63 1/2 month old can > shaker pint
A: Pale clear brassy color with a small white head. Short retention leaving a ring of lace.
S: Grass/hay hop notes and faint bread or corn sweetness. Pilsner-esque.
T: Follows the nose with grass and hay flavors mingled with a crisp corn malt flavor. Starts off good but the corny aftertaste is cloying.
M: Average to light weight, average carb level and a sweet finish.
O: Not bad but just seems like an "upscale" macro lager.
3.5Can from CV Pharmacy at Treasure Island Casino in Las Vegas on 10 October 2017. A clean crisp and refreshing beer that went down very easy even though it was in a big arse can. Slightly fruity with a thin body.
2.2Twelve ounce can. Yes, an "easygoing" ale, almost too easy going, almost generic. Why would a craft brewer make this beer? A frothy head, and and least they got the carbonation right.
2.3can. Golden with one finger head. I have to say, I don't get this one. It's been at least a decade since I drank a Bud Light, but this seems like NB is trying to clone Bud Light, but somehow they've come up with something even more bland. Nearly flavorless. Light sweet corn. Minimal hops. No flaws to speak of, but just not something I'd ever want to drink. There's more flavor in a bottle of Aquafina.
2.7Pale yellow with a big beige head. Aroma of bread, and a little citrus. Sweet taste, medium body. Ok.
2.1Light. Boring. No character. A disappointing beer from good brewery. Here are my extra characters so I can upload it to Ratebeer.com as I am now required to do
3.3Thin white head on top of a clear pale gold body. It smells sweet, like corn bread. Tastes like a corn heavy wort was used. Very bubbly on the palette. Middle of the good pack.
2.912 oz Dose. Hellgelbes Bier mit viel schönem festem Schaum. Getreidig frischer Duft. Bieriger Antrunk. Getreide, Brotteig. Kaum bitter. Süffig. In dieser Kategorie ok, allgemein aber etwas langweilig.
3.3Golden with thin white head
Aroma is wheaty with subtle yeast
Flava is banana and grain
Feels light to medium with moderate fizz
Finishes tangy slightly spicy/herbal
0.6This is one of the worst beers I’ve ever had. Every moment of this experience makes me long for a Budweiser to chase it....even that would be better. I wouldn’t even give this to my worst enemy.
2.6Can from Wegmans. Aroma of hay malts and some citrus hops.Easy to drink if a bit bland.
2.8Only bought 1 can cuz wife is making beer cheese. Pale yellow. Floral aroma, light and zesty. Bread, crackery. Same in taste with some citrus. Citrus finish. Honey I guess but more floral like and citrus. Ok if you want something light.
