I liked this brewery but not this beer. Yellow color. Color and well carbonated. Big aroma of corn flakes. Sweet malt and more corn. I didn’t like this.

Draught at the brewery, 11/7/15.
Clear, light golden beer with good carbonation and a small but moderately-well retained white head.
Hay, herbs and fresh, lightly fruity yeast notes in the nose are all quite welcome. I don’t get any graininess or dough, but rather just clean, well-attenuated pale malt-derived honey and light cracker. No alcohol or flaws.
Light, but as with the Belgian Pale, their beers all have appropriate body and seem to be nicely unfiltered and conditioned for a proper amount of time. Very clean, with light fruitiness, delicate honey and light bitterenss. Fresh minerality, lively, bright hops and crisp hay notes on the end. Very good.

[3/1/15] Draught at Populuxe Brewing in Seattle. Hazy deep golden. Grainy aroma with a fruity note. Sweetish grainy flavor with light fruitiness and a bitterish finish. Rather light-bodied.

Draft pour at the brewery. 5 oz sample. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a ton of head and lace. Soft lemon and grain aroma. Straw and lemon fruitiness. Not bad.

On tap at Populuxe, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is light, with zesty crackery malt. Flavour is smooth, with light citrus zest and crackery malt. Smooth and balanced, but pretty boring.
