Some very strange blend of malts, hops and sour in the aroma--almost a brettanomyces touch. Some funkiness to it but in a citrusy way. A maltier finish. A pretty good light beer.

Tap. Clear golden yellow pour with a semi-hoppy aroma. Flavor also light hops and finished bitter and dry. Solid session beer that was well balanced and easy to drink.

draft at latona. pours a lightly hazy and slightly coppery pale gold. loose white suds. mild earthy and slightly biscuity nose. creamy medium body with pleasant carb showing. somewhat indistinct mid palate of toast, biscuit, and earthy hop. mild finish. nice printable gold with a bit of flavor.

On Tap At Elysian Fields Seattle. Pours out a gold topped with a cream white head. Aroma was of light grass and some light hops. Taste was pretty mild light hops and touch of malt. not much going on.

Tap at RnH. Big notes of strawberry in the flavor and aroma. Lightly piney. Locker room sweaty flavor, mild thick body, lacking in effervescence. Unexciting.
