Draft: Poured a thin head with an aroma was yeast, fruit and sugar. The flavor was smooth and well balanced with a fruity yeasty taste. Overall, a delicious beer.

Growler courtesy of Ty. Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells of cloves, spice, ginger, citrus, pilsner malt. Tastes slightly on the bitter side with citrus, some fruity hints, clove, dry malt. Not enough sweetness to balance the bitter. Decent.

Light dense head of very fine bubbles. Good carbonation. Kind of weak aroma. Light malts and hops. Color is a crystal clear bright gold. Creamy smooth on the palate. More malts and a little bit of spice and yeast. Kind of thin flavor. Some bready malts. Smooth clean finish. Alcohol noted on the tongue. Not a very good example of the style.
