It is very light and crisp, makes a wonderful hot weather beer that is very drinkable without putting you under the table and with more flavor than a light beer.
 
Going to brew this tomorrow at LHBS that has a brew-on-premises operation. I'll let you know next month how my batch turns out!
 
Just kegged this today. Tasted it before I put it in the keg. Nice light taste. It was very clear which I was concerned about because when I racked to the secondary I had about 3/4 inch of trub in the fermenting bucket. Even had a decent amount in the secondary. I use whirlflock in all my beers when brewing and it works very well. I'll let you know how it tastes after carbonation is complete.
