On tap at Celis, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out toasted biscuity malt and floral hops. Flavour is light, with floral hops and biscuity malt. Not too elegant, but it's okay.

Nonic pint draft at Uncle Billy’s Brew and Que Smokehouse in Austin, Texas. The pour is a hazed orange copper with a smallish white head. Nice lace left behind on the glass. The aroma is earth, floral hop and a bit of caramel malt. The taste is the caramel malt and floral hop of the nose, nice balance and decently fresh. The palate is medium to light bodied with soft carbonation and a mineral resin floral hop finish. Solid.
