I think this on is also called Blue Fin. Had this at the Mammoth Festival. Pours a pale gold. Smells bready and sweet. Finishes crisp and refreshing. A nice lager.

Tasted at Ballast Point. Light golden color with a fizzy white head. Aroma of bread and fruit. Grainy taste with a clean crisp finish.
