Shaker pint draft at the brewpub, as well as a few more pints out of a growler. Pour is mostly clear golden, amber with a nice light reddish undertone. The head is off white, and pretty lasting. Aroma is a soft floral sweet citrus hoppiness, balanced nicely with a gentle grain wheat. As it warms, there is a warmer sweetness, honeyish. Taste is the nose, sweet citrus floral hoppiness nicely blended with the soft grain wheat body of the malt. The honey is a touch more pronounced in the taste, though still is behind the hops and wheat. Palate is medium bodied, very soft mouhtfeel. Carbonation is on the low level, aftertaste is quick and clean. Very drinkable beer, nice.

Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Mild floral hoops aroma. Sweet grassy caramel and citrus taste with a crisp finish.

Draft at the brewpub. Lightly sweet, fruity aroma, full of honey, bready malt sweetness, citrus, faint bubblegum and pine. Clear medium sunset red-amber color, with a fine, lasting head. Flavor is generously hoppy throughout, with lemony citrus and pine, combining with sweet, caramel, honeyish malts, and finishing with a burst of hop bitterness and flavor. Oily, resinous, generously effervescent palate, body is medium. Fresh and tasty.
