3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Guess what, its springtime!
This beer pours a nice deep golden color with a small head that fades and tightens up a bit around the sides of the glass and never really goes away, the carbonation is lively with a good effervescence. The aroma is nice with fresh hay and some mild sweet malt notes. The flavor has some nice honey sweetness complimented with some noble homes and a good showing of alcohol with some saltiness and a bit of a metallic flavor thrown in to the background.

Tap. Pours a clear gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is heavy malt with fruity hops and grain notes detectable as well. Taste is very sweet, especially for a more pale lager, with slight spice at the end and a noticeable grain characteristic as well. Finishes pretty dry, and a rather nice beer overall.
