3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft @ FBGBF ’010. Pours light copper with thin off white head. The aroma is vaguely sweet with a touch of caramel. The taste starts with a thin pulse of sweetness before a modest note of vague bitter hops sway themselves into grapefruit like acidity and then moving toward slight graininess. It ends pretty dry with a bit of hop resin and a touch of roast. Very drinkable and fairly refreshing.

Poured a slight golden color with amber hues and a very nice initial head that persisted well. The lacing was great, very typical of the style, of course. The aroma was of floral, pine, and light citrus. The flavor followed suite, maybe a semi-sweet pale malt base with said hops on display. Mouthfeel was somewhat refreshing for the style.

Clear golden effervescent, little to no white head, strong floral nose, overly acidic hoppiness with no other interesting flavor. Glad this is just a seasonal, yuck.
