Draft at weed alehouse. Bright, effervescent golden; stale and a touch vegetal in the nose. Medium-light body; moderate carbonation. Minerally, toasty core; slightly more focused and crisp than the golden, with a mire assertive hop character. Nice, crisp and toasty finish. Slightly more dialed in than the golden aside from the nose.

22 oz. bottle from Hayduke. Light haze in the golden pour and a very small off white head that lasts just moments. The aroma was a surprise in its spicy European hops. Flavor begins with those same hops. Soon some honey and then funkiness. This was a better and more interesting beer than I first assumed. It has just a bit of attitude that won me over.

Light gold with a medium-sized white head. Lightly grainy malt aroma with a touch of floral hops. The flavoris a bit minerally and has a corny sweetness that puts it just out of the clean drinkability that I expect from the style. Light bodied with a medium carbonation level. Not my favorite from them.
