On tap @CBC Dallas. Last Maine tap ran dry & they switched this in within 30 minutes. Ever slightly hazy, pale gold, delicate white foam. Sweet n savory onion nose with a wink of herb butter. Thin, savory onion & mellow herbal, mostly dry, faint biscuit. Not really a hazy. Soft carbonation. More Mosaic than anything. Good for two pours.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear bright gold with a large foamy white head. Tropical aromas waft from the pour. Med body. It's dry and bitter, but tropical that's not really juicy. Grapefruit/pine and prickly pineapple. Very, very nice.

Bottle shared at flat in Philadelphia PA. Thanks to Colin. A mostly clear yellow straw coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is nice earthy citrus, lemon balm floral notes. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, soft wheat, bready, lemon rind, grass, lavender. Floral. Palate is soft crisp and clean, airy carbonation. Lovely.
