Tap @ CKBC. A bit hazy, orangish golden appearance with a decent off white head. Sweet, somewhat grainy, lightly fruity, a touch husky, hay aroma. Some light notes of stone fruits in the flavor like peach as well as a fairly rich pale malty taste but there wasn’t a ton going on. Fairly sweet but not cloying by any means. Sure it wasn’t flawed but it wasn’t all that exciting either.

Tap at CK - I was really excited to try this, as , when done well, I really love this style - sadly, this fell far short of the mark for me - hazy gold pour - flavors are one dimensional and muddled - strongly sweet, sugary malt base, with maybe a touch of honey character - hops are moderate but soapy - none of the bright, vibrant character you get from better examples of the style - some muddy yeastiness - strong alcohol presence creates a boozy and almost medicinal character in the finish - honestly, this tastes almost like malt liquor to me - the first beer from these guys that I have truly disliked - oh well.
