(tap) very hazy, bright pale yellow colour with a small white head; aroma of lemon, orange; light, balanced flavour with a long, light bitter finish- a rare blonde ale that is not insipid

Keg at the brewery. Translucent bright yellow coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is white bready grains, grassy citrus, little tangerine, faint tropical fruits. Flavour is composed of raw grains, wheat, hay, tangerine, grassy lime. Palate is light bodied, raw grains, highish carbonation and a super dry finish. Crushable.

Pours a fairly pale yellow with just a hint of orange. I should bring a beer color chart with me or just provide a link to a picture. Hazy to the point of being opaque in a half point glass. Small white head. Lots of fine bubbles. Aroma is a bit grainy in a pleasant way. Hops seem a tad sweaty. Mild tangerine flavor. Candied lemon. Fresh grain. Taste is similar. It’s a fairly mild beer. Easy to drink and easy to like, but it’s not going to wow anyone. Some citrus hoppiness. Nice and dry. Good light grain flavor. Soft. Refreshing. Fairly crisp mouthfeel. Gentle carbonation. Very easy to finish a glass or two. Just a bit boring, particularly with all of the competition at Cellarmaker. No off notes, nothing wrong with it. Something to drink if you don’t want a more restrained hoppiness. I think I’ll revisit this one in the future and grab a growler. I might have missed some of the subtlety by trying it alongside other beers.

Hazy pale yellow 1 finger crema head simcoe and Amarillo nose with a touch of crystal malt and pineapple. Malt forward bandaid flavors with a touch of mild bitterness. Wheat chewy finish. Smells great bit taste was a bit of a let down.
