Draft at Hop Cat Livonia. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Honey and light lavender aromas on the nose. Balanced honey, lavender and malt on the palate. Smooth and highly drinkable.

12oz can. Unfiltered copper-amber-brown body. Thin to no head, some traces rim the glass. Interesting flavor profile, the lavender and honey are a pleasant combination. Medium bodied, the honey gives it a little thickness. Middle of the road stuff. OK.

Can: Lavender, ginger, sandalwood nose. Hazy amber, medium yellow head. Ginger. Lavender finish. Light body, moderate carbonation. Despite my aversion to lavender, this was somewhat enjoyable and well executed.

12 ounce can into pint glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours hazy deep golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, lavender, honey, wheat, cracker, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of fruity yeast, pale malt, and honey/spice notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, pear, apple, lavender, honey, wheat, cracker, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Zero hop/spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, pear, apple, lavender, honey, wheat, cracker, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness of fruity yeast, pale malt, and honey/spice flavors; with a great malt/spice/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a very good pale wheat ale. All around good robustness and balance of fruity yeast, pale malt, and honey/spice flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can. Clear light amber with very small off-white head. Aroma is light lavender, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is lavender, some graininess, and hints of honey. Not interested in having this again.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber orange with a tan head that dissipates to the edges slowly. Aroma has a nice honey and lavender combination with a sweet wheat backbone. Flavor starts with wheat and honey and has a strong lavender finish.
