Draft: Transparent straw. Wilting white bubbled wisp. Cleanly minerally aroma with scents of hay dust and honey. Tightly effervescent. Starts sharply acidic and notably astringent with grainy alcohol coupled with softening effects of crushed corn and slightly husky pale malts. Pretty clean, overall, but sugary sweet. Hint of light-struck hops? White grape acidity imparts a slick fruitiness to the coarse body and momentarily delays the inevitable sweetness. Melon hints round out the dry finish, which remains corny and chock-full of husky grains and rigid, sweet alcohol. Not bad, but certainly not great.

Draft - Pale gold, American Standard look. Next to no white head. Minimal aroma - probably served too cold. Spicy, sweet and strong. Tastes like more than the 38 IBU - all spicy hops. Pretty nice.

Sparkling apple juice body with small white head. Aroma is the same as the taste -- moderately sweet (corn), herbal/grassy. Full body, pretty smooth. Surprisingly I enjoyed it.
