Tap. Pours clear dark gold with a medium, frothy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is fruity esters, floral and citrus hops with biscuit malt. Flavor is medium hops and bitterness with supporting malt and fruity esters, and a dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

Draft at the source. Hazy golden yellow, white head, solid lacing. Aroma of white pepper. Taste is dilute hay.

Gold, thin white head. Soft yeasty floral nose with a faint citric undercurrent. Flavor is balanced with further notes of bready florals and sweet citric notes throughout. Light bodied, soft carbonation, light sweet finish. Drinkable, but honestly would never re-visit...

Tartish, mopwater aroma -- lightly chemical. Bright yellow-gold. Light western hops, light citrus, ale yeast, lightly sweet and tart. Finish is tart and moderately astringent. Light body. Bleh.

On tap-pours a clear golden color w/a small white head. Sweet malt aroma. Crisp. clean, hop flavor up front-but not overpoweringly so. Has some nice effervesence to it & a little bite. Tastes a little like a wheat/pilsner combo-if that even makes sense! Spicy finish, enjoyable, could definitely drink a few of these sitting in this bar.

Definate hoppy character but unrefined. Too much wheat/grass going on here to give it any distinction. Needs a lot of work.

on tap-pours a white head that laces with gold color. Aroma is sweet malt. Taste is sweet caramel malt, hops. Good effervescence.
