3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the Oak Park Micro Brew & Food Review, and dispensed to my fest glass with a lightly hazed, amber/gold color, a soft white head that reduced expeditiously to a ring & film, and left some dots & dashes as lacing. The nose was fair malt, expressive citrus, estery sweetness, and a touch of resin. Medium bodied and moderately bittered, the carbonation was soft, so the texture came off a bit watery, but altogether, this brew was nicely flavorful, well balanced, and finished with some pleasant dryness.
