A golden ale that leads into the soft freshness of summer sunrise. The intro is dominated by the invigorating scentscape of catnip, which is complemented by the grapefruity notes of Cascade hops. All this is embraced by the fluffy sweetness of wheat, which goes all the way through the aftertaste, where it interwines with traces of citrus.

On tap at Labietis - Central Market, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is definitely dominated by the catnip—hard to detect much else. Flavour is unpleasant: very abrasive and dominated by harsh catnip. No idea how anyone could appreciate this.

A small explosion on opening and rising foam. Smell- weak, herbal, banana, acidic. Foam- thin, herbal, acidic, few sour notes. Head is quite large, white color. It seems to stick. Appearance- slightly hazy (at the start), later fully hazy yellow color, quite high on carbonation. Taste- slightly sour, acidic wheat beer, herbal, some sweetness in the mix. Drinkable, but something does not work together here for me. It gets better after some time, but the score is a score, ill keep it as is.
