Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a light amber colored body that leaves no head, minimal lacing is left.
The smell had malts up front with a bit of floral/earthiness going on.
The taste was basically the same adding a bit of graininess.
The palate sat about a light to medium leaving a dry feel on the tongue yet nothing harsh there either, sessionable.
Overall, this was decent but nothing to go out of my way for again.

Taste comprises orange pith, caramel malt, straw, bread dough. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry grassy bitter notes in the finish. So so APA.
