On tap at Off the Rail, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings very subdued earthy hops and some biscuity malt. Flavour is very subdued, with fresh bittering hops that don't have much character and crisp biscuity malt. Clean enough, but not overly pleasant. At least there's no diacetyl.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond color. The aroma is mildly citrusy. The mouthfeel is weak and dry, there is no malt quality, and almost no hop quality.
Surprising for OTR, not flawed, but boring.

See, I was told this was made with "Strata" hops. I’ve never heard of those, which is fine, except that the entire Internet has never heard of them either. Am I crazy? What beer did I have?
Hazy blonde with a medium head. Not picking up much on the nose but random stewed fruits. More of that stewed fruit on the palate...yeasty.. malts are poorly developed. Like a homebrewer, having fun with hops but not possessed of actual brewing capabilities.
