Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing off-whiote head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, and citrus, leading to a dry cardboard finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

opaque light orange, thin frothy white head, sweet orange aroma, light orange flavor, touch of sweet banana, a raspy wheat character that helps to dry it out and create balance, hints of clove that comes and goes, the sweet banana and orange create the perfect blend and dominate the profile
