Bottle at home. Hazy pour one finger white head. Nose is lovely tropical fruits and soft wheat reminiscent of an Ohio tourism board commercial. Tastes of mango, melon, lemon, hint of berry, wheat, light brett, touch of herbaceous to finish it off. Mouthfeel is creamy and subdued. Pretty lovely. Kent falls is great summer time stuff

Draught at Atwood’s, 6/1/16.
Heavily hazy, pale-golden with limey-brass tints and a medium-sized, well-retained white head atop.
Lemon-lime and more citrus greet the nose as very easygoing/mild brett notes take backseat. Green flowers, fresh guava and delicate honey from the malts all provide a dainty and very well-balanced nose that is free from any pine or other harsh/aggressive notes.
The first thing I notice, before taking in any of the flavors, is the fluffy, practically airy texture that comes from the ultra fine carbonation and incredibly soft wheat/yeast/hops in suspension (not sure which combination of them it is). It doesn’t seem slick or oily, however and feels more malt/wheat-driven to me. Whatever the case, it provides just enough honey to balance the mild lime-guava of the brett and lightly juicy meyer lemon and dry pineapple from the hops. Bitterness gains a little bit of traction on the finish, especially with warming, but the juiciness keeps it in check. A difficult "style" to do well, especially showing restraint on the brett and hops. It’s masterfully done here, I think.
