Perfectly crisp golden coloured body with a pretty nice, two centimetre tall off-white head that fades pretty slowly and leaves a small lace on the top of the glass. Aroma of grass, very light hops with some biscuity malts and a dash of caster sugar noticeable - all pretty mild throughout. Light to Medium-bodied; Pretty crisp and grassy flavour at first with a nice, smooth grainy flavour and a dry, floral finish with a light touch of sugars from the caster sugar and even some honey notes here, as well. Aftertaste shows some flowers here with a kick of light citrus fruits and a mild sweetness here with a good balance throughout and a smooth dryness that couples well with the moderately noticeable citrus flavours. Overall, better than I expected and a pretty balanced, yet still flavourful and somehow - hoppy, beer. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Kroger in Detroit (Utica, 23 Mild Road), Michigan on 18-April-2023 for US$10,99/six pack sampled in my hotel room here in Utica, Michigan a day later, on 19-April-2023.

Had with dinner of lake perch on Lake Superior. Still nursing a hangover this type of brew is what I needed to ease back in. Light colored some cloudy was. Nose is wheat and faint citrus. Tastes the same some dough and herbal. Thin bodied

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear pale yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of earthy wheat with some straw underlying. Flavor follow suit with some earthy wheat and sweet straw.
