Draught at the brewpub. Pale golden color, lacy. Grassy, citrus hop nose. Flavors of biscuit malt, decent hops, lemon, grass, nicely balanced. A nice drinking beer, very fresh and clean. Good.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright apricot color with a large sudsy orange-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was bread, honey and candied golden fruits. The flavor was sweet bread, honey, pineapple and peach. The beer turned a bit dry on the long finish. Medium body but overcarbonated. Solid.

Bottle. Pour is an oddly hazy dark gold with a decent white foamy head. Aromas are heavy with silo dust and sweetness. Flavor is pretty miserable. Lots of honey buns, grain dust and meh.

Bottle. Pours unclear amber with a creamy, small and off-white head. Strong, earthy hop aroma with prominent grapefruit and pine. Mild flavor, with light sweetness but more earthy, dirty hops. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. Finishes bitter with some lingering grass. Not bad.
