Can (12/31/25) from the brewery. Crystal clear, pale yellow, tons of sparkle, thin head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong pale malts, cracker, honey, hint of fruit. Taste is the strong pale malts and cracker of the aroma but fruit is a bit more forward with both sweet & tart aspects. Smooth, frothy texture, thin body, soft carbonation and dry, mostly malty, slightly yeasty finish. Beautiful beer to look at. A slightly souped up Cream Ale.

Canned 12/31/25, drunk 5/2/26. Compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
All this extra conditioning in the can may have paid off, as this is exquisitely clean with slight herbal hop and a mix of biscuit, cracker and light honey-like malt character. Bit of sourdough and mild fruitiness lingering nicely.
Fruity with a bright hop character and a good malt depth that is nonetheless nice and dry. Substantial body and excellent, clean, bright flavors. Herbs, fruit, sourdough, biscuit, honey. Quite a bit going on here, actually.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you much! Crystal clear, golden appearance. The flavor has a soft grain background, low bitterness, low sweetness, and a pretty clean finish. Simple and to the style.
