5.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Draft - Earthy hops, fairly subtle. Hazy gold with a decent white head. Pithy citrus, light bitterness and a decent finish. Pretty bland and boring with little of the hops shining through.

Hazy light amber. Thin head. Earthy hop nose. Has a lot of earthy chinooks, nice pale malt signature. Ok, not the brightest hop but not bad. Certainly well made.

On tap at Faculty, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with light biscuity notes and almost no notice of the hops. Flavour is very dry and inexpressive on the hops except for a light bitterness on the finish. Dry malt base. This isn't very convincing. Needs some tweaking.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy golden color with compact head. The aroma is poor, not enough malt or hop, instead some yeast, foot, manure, wet paper; metallic; later it develops some more orthodox hop. Lean body, delicate malt flavor, a bit bready; the hop job is rough, they extracted too much tannin, so besides the expected resins there is some astringency, tannic bitterness, and a mildly metallic finish.
Not bad, but it requires some tuning.
