Grainy barley malt and floral hay aroma. Golden yellow with large white head and moderate effervescence. Mildly sweet grain barley malt, and moderately bitter weedy/quinine hay flavor. Okay body. Rough.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 1/8/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of wheat, cracker, corn, and white bread dough; with light notes of honey, lemon, pear, apple, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with pale male/corn and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of wheat, cracker, corn, and white bread dough; with light notes of honey, lemon, pear, apple, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of wheat, cracker, corn, and white bread dough, light honey/fruit, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness of pale male/corn and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, not overly fruity/yeasty. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.75%. Overall this is an excellent cream ale. All around great robustness of pale male/corn and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful with clean malt/grainy corn flavors, with just enough balancing earthy hops. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
