Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly hop forward with some floral and herbal notes but more of a citrus and tropical fruit character. Some lemon and pineapple notes with hints of green grape must. Faint oak. Pours a hazy, pale, golden straw color with a small,l medium thick, white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for some time. No lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a light acidity with medium light sweetness. Light grain notes and low bitterness. Hints of oak and alcohol. Some lemon, pineapple and tropical fruit. Hop notes are a bit buttery and cheesy. Light herbal hop note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. It would probably be better if it were fresher and that might have helped limit the cheesiness did the hops.

Bottle thanks to Anthony. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong yeast, oak, brett, funk. Thin body, citrus, brett, oak, nice tartness, balanced, enjoyed this.
