Draught at the Other Side Café, Boston, MA.
Clear amber colour with tiny off-white head. Mild malt, some butter and mild fruity hops in aroma. Butter (diacetyl), malt and mild fruity hops in flavour. No bitterness in aftertaste. Buttery aftertaste. Strange brew.

Tap at cbc. Notes of playdough, lemon zest, grassy earthy leaves, some wheat. Earthy, happy wheat beer with some weird old dough character. Okay.
