Bottle shared during RBWG 2015. Pours mostly clear yellow with a wimpy, white foam head. Light funk in the nose, some candied lemon peel, pale bread. Light sweet flavor with mild tart citrus, dry straw, mellow bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately dry on the finish with some more biscuity pale malts, subtle lemon notes. Not bad.
