Poured a hazy, bright yellow-orange color with a thick, rocky white heat that stuck around nicely and left some thick spotty lacing. Funky, grassy herbal aroma with a nice earthy yeastiness and some soft orange peel and lemon followed by a nice floral hoppiness. Soft, crisp entry with some light citrus fruit (mainly orange, some tart lemon) leading into a lightly funky yeastiness and a moderate floral hoppiness that is lightly bitter and earthy. Light, soft fruit and some yeast funk on the finish. Crisp and dry on the palate. Nice
