Taster pour from can at Craft Brew Race, Worcester. Appearance is pale yellow with finger-width white foamy head after aggressive pour. Aroma is pleasant lemon, fruit salad/kiwi. Taste is herbal/vegetal, background cracker malt. Palate light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, flat-to-soft carbonation and dry, crisp finish. Overall, aroma and flavor are not that strong nor distinct. Interesting that aroma and flavor are so divergent.

Draught at Big Fatty's, 12/31/17.
Hazy, lemony-gold-brass. Medium white head to cover.
Mineral and wine are quite mild and enjoyable with light nectarine, wood, leafy green and other drying, slightly spicy notes. A bit of sharp lemon and pine sits on the end. Malts are extremely sparse, with only bare cracker at most. Clean, otherwise, with no alcohol.
In mouth it has a dextrinous, chewy texture with engaging carbonation. Very dry, though and has zero malt sweetness and little malt depth. Lemon, nectarine, pine and wood leave little juiciness on the palate. Better than their other offerings I've had, but still needs a ton of work.
