Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to lager glass.
Appearance: murky/glossy burnt yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slipped off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to tart berry character, light corn sweetness; some grassy clean hops and a light, maybe biscuity malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a kind sweet tone and adds in a light honey sweetness; finishes berry to corn sweet to the grassy hoppiness
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but not too much, some hops seem to scrape my tongue just a wee little bit.
Overall: an interesting lager to say the least, almost gave me that "India pale lager" vibe to be honest, but well, I do believe I could return to this.

Try this again. Completed my previous review and submitted with site saying can't save try again. Aromas are musty, dry grain and a hint of fruit. Flavors are on the sweet side maybe some tea in there, can't place the fruit. Some tart in the background and solvent in the Finish. Very strong carbonation. Not a fan of the flavors.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma is hay and grain forward with some grass supporting. Flavor has grass and sweet grains with a good amount of hay supporting.
