Sample at the brewery taproom. Hazy golden color with a medium thick white head that evaporates gradually to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Grassy hops, fruit and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrus and hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sampled from a bottle this beer poured a golden color with a medium sized foamy white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was very faint citric hops. The flavor was dry, tart and slightly bitter with a hint of citrus. Short finish. Watery body. Not good.

Pours a straw with a slight greenish tinge from a bottle. Nondescript hoppiness is typically thin and watered down as the style seems to demand. Okay beer.
