Pours gold with absolutely no head. The aroma is mostly malt, with not much else. The flavor is a bit sour, with a grainy taste.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden color with wight bubbly head. Light floral hops aroma. Flavor was light hops that are blanketed by sweet malt. Goes down smooth with very quick & pleasant bitter malt aftertaste. 6.8% ABV is hidden well. All in all, not bad.

12oz bottle pours amber and slightly cloudy with a short offwhite head that stays well and laces a little. Aromas of floral and light citrus hops over caramel malts. Flavor is caramel and light toffee behind big floral and citrus hops Quite clean feeling on the palate and somewhat bitter on the finish. Pretty average..
