At Mash Tun--Poured a light amber body, almost copper with a wispy white head. Great flowery, piquant nose, but flavor is a little thin. Some hops bitterness and biscuit malts and caramel. Finished with the trace of grassiness and citrus hops, but mostly dull and watery.

Light amber, golden color. Small white head leaving a lace on the pint glass. Smooth, slightly sweet with a scent of grass and citrus. Very mild bitterness in flavor. Floral flavor and aftertaste.

Bright golden-copper colour. Light fruity nose with hints of citrus, toast, wood. Clean, with a well-balanced character matching toasty, caramelly malts and orangey, woody hops.
