3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not much aroma, a pleasant grassiness. Pale gold with a thin but lasting head. Light body, Light malty taste, light finish. To-day was rather cool, this might be better on a warmer day
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Somewhat spicy and lightly grassy hop nose. A touch of sweetness and light bread. Clean. Golden pour, thin head. Bready, a little grainy, peppery, a little grassy. Nice bitterness. Finishes a little sweet and bready with lingering bitter. Not bad.

On tap at Calapooia in Albany, OR--Poured a hazy golden-yellow body with a small white head (very similar body to the wheat beer). Spicy grassy hops and grain nose. Crisp, vibrant and delicious mouth presence. Great summer session brew.
