Draught at the brewery, 5/25/18.
Clear, bright golden-maize. Fairly light-hued overall, with a small, white head showing moderate retention.
Nose is zesty, strong hops, but definitely of a noble variety. Lush herbs and dry, cracker-laced, honey malts are clean and snappy, with low fruitiness throughout.
In the mouth it's dry, zesty and impressively carbonated with a soft texture. White dough, honey and copper-tinged, earthy, spicy hops. Nicely bitter ending keeps balance and brightness. Very refreshing and light but still malty.
