On tap at Flat12 Bierwerks, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out straw and biscuity malt. Flavour is sweet with cereal malts and light straw. Clean but boring meh.

Canned July 6th? ?

Straw yellow with a decent head of foam. Smell is atrocious. Like garbage sitting around for a while. Must be the noble hops and wheat at the weakest state of its existence.

Not going to rate as it is since that wouldn’t be fair to the brewer. 3s all around. --- Beer merged from original tick of Upside Down Blonde on 16 Jan 2017 at 14:53. Original review text: Noble hops bring some spice. The smell is atrocious. Well, canned in July. 4.5% abv ain't gonna hold up given the style. Gonna drain pour.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a white gold with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is wheat and citrus. Medium body, wheat, grass, crisp, decent.

12 oz. bottle in trade with Fletche00. Light gold color, with a medium, bubbly, off-white head. Brilliant floral aroma up front (I’m getting some honeysuckle and rose petals), bubblegum, some phenol, and saaz hops. The flavor is sweet, lightly sour, and just a touch of bitterness. Light body, creamy, acidic, and just a little astringent. This is quite a nice, easy-drinking beer. Lovely floral aromas, and clean, refreshing taste.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of queenholly. Hazy gold with thin head that left spider web lace. Nose is pale malt giving a cracker, bread like note.Taste is lightly sweet with a light herbal bittering hop. Body is light and grainy with a clean, sweet finish. Extremely easy to drink. No problems.

This beer is a slightly hazed yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of bready malt and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops and biscuit malt. The finish is sweet with a toasted malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a slightly cloudy pale gold with a huge white head. Aroma is grainy with a little straw. Taste is light bitter. Straw and hau with a little grassy hops. Medium bodied with a relatively thin texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Didnt blow my mind but very drinkable. Thanks stfun for the bottle.

Pours slightly hazy yellow-gold with a weak ring of off-white foam. Aroma is faint, slightly wheaty. Taste is slightly bitter grain, some citrus. Started a bit rough, but became much better as it warmed. Not bad.
