Nice gold/yellow thin white head, smell citrus, taste grapefruit and spruce. I couldn’t taste the malt over the hops, carbonation sparkles over the tongue feels very nice. refreshing and very drinkable

Bottle. Yellow-orange pour with a slight head that is not very sticky. Sweet nose upfront with an okay hop presence. Flavor is alright. Pretty smooth, but not much going on otherwise.

12 oz. bottle, part of a mixed 6 pack picked up at Princeton’s in MN. pale honey gold in color with a short-lived pillowy white head settling quickly to a couple tiny islands with a small amount of lace. aroma is somewhat grassy with hints of citrus. taste is dry bread crust with a tiny bit of caramel. light carbonation and almost medium bodied. OK thirst quencher, but not a lot of flavor or bitterness here.
