Keg at the brewpub, 01/02/16. Hazed yellow golden with a decent enough off white covering. Nose is lightly toasted malts, orange squash, straw, grain. Taste comprises light florals, grain, vanilla, off notes, faint citric rinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, the faintest of hop bitterness in the close. Not great ... harsh and raw all round.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours cloudy gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds light grains, orange rind. Light to medium sweet flavour, with simple grainy bread, mellow butter, some citrus notes. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish, with more simple, grainy bread. Pretty basic overall. Uninspiring.

Draft a the the brewpub. Hazed golden dull coloured pour with a lasting off white frothy head. Aroma is grassy, dirty hop matter, wort, socks, dirty grains, wood. Spicy veg. Flavour is composed of dirty spicy stewed hop, vegetal. Raw grains, hint of lemon rind. Palate is thin and chalky. Highish carbonation. Lingering worts, dirty hop.

Draft - Sweet, perfume hops and grains. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Nice grains and a touch of sweetness. English style and solid.

Draught at Downtown Joe’s Napa. Almost clear light golden liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grain, bread and floral hops. Taste is very light sweet and very light bitter with notes of grain and malt. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Ugh. Very grainy.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow with small frothy white head. The aroma is lemon and wheat. Medium mouth, cereal, dough, wheat, bitter finish, decent.
