Sampled from the bottle at GTMW 2018. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a lot of grass with some gin botanicals, light pine and a light grain backbone. Flavor has notes of cucumber, grass, gin botanicals, pine and just a touch of grain backing.

Shaker pint draft at Rye in Leawood, Kansas. The pour is clear golden orange yellow with a minimal white head that leaves behind nice lace. The aroma is cereal grain malt, soft lemon-lime citrus, cucumber and general herbal spice. The taste is a clean blend of the clean cereal malt and the cucumber coolness. The citrus and herbal spice carry the finish. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and the clean cucumber herbal finish. Fun, well constructed beer.

Bottle to glass. Pours a hazy yellow and full white head. Lots of spice and herb really drown out the great hop combo.

Dim golden color. The beer has a lot of additions bit isn’t an adjunct laden brew. Even the cucumber is light and could bt missed. Some botanicals,which are stronger than the cucumber. Find beer, a little slick base beer could be better but mostly fun.
