Bottled sample at the brewery. Bottled today apparently. Not yet labeled. Thanks bartender and customer who said she was waiting two years for this! Hazy orange, large fizzy offwhite head, good retention. Aroma of strong asparagus, mint, earth, pale malt. Taste is mint, asparagus, pine, pale malt. Medium bodied, refreshing. 600th Michigan rating!

22 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 5/13/2015. Pours lightly hazy bright golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, asparagus, cracker, bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with well balanced lemon/asparagus, pale malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of asparagus, lemon, pear, apple, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, slight smoke/char, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal hop and asparagus bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, asparagus, pear, apple, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of lemon/asparagus, pale malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth and slightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good fruited blonde ale style. All around good balance and robustness of lemon/asparagus, pale malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. The base blonde ale for this beer was spot on to style as well. A very enjoyable offering.

On tap at MBGSF 2015. Pours pale gold with a white head. Sulfurous grape aroma. Flavor is very nice white grape and, well, asparagus. Somehow it’s actually great! Definitely the biggest surprise of the day.

Bottle. Lemon, asparagus, and malt aroma. Pale yellow with small head. Light asparagus, lemon and malt flavor. Nice balance. Subtle asparagus - quite refreshing.
