Small hint of oak. Golden pour with decent head. Crisp finish. Ok for style, but lacks the malt character that makes the best of this style great. No faults here though, and easy drinking. Tap at brewery.

Super clear, very crisp golden coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of crisp lager yeast, light biscuits, a dash of citrus fruits and a good amount of very fresh, low alpha acid (perhaps Saaz?) hops that show nicely in the nose. Light-bodied; Very crisp dry flavours that have some herbal and grassiness to them, a moderate and easy-drinking malt note that shows some light tea notes, but the hops show through at the end and provide a solid bitterness from the lighter alpha acids, but a good finish throughout. Aftertaste is dry, grapefruity, lemoney and very biscuity from the malts and the yeast. Overall, a nice and very refreshing, easy-drinking beer that hits the marks nicely and goes down quite easily while still providing a good deal of flavours - nice! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, given to me after my one of my hockey games, sampled in the parking lot, here in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia sampled on 21-July-2021 while enjoying the outdoors and nice evening after a win.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of straw with a touch of sweet grains and a hint of biscuit underlying. Flavor has straw and light sweet grains with biscuit and hay in the finish.

12 ounce bottle thanks to hershiser2! 1/1/20. Hazy pale orange, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of Noble hops, grassy hops, pale doughy malt. Taste is doughy malt, snappy, herbal, grassy hops, a little bit of butteriness from the malt. Medium bodied, crisp, moderate lingering bitterness.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear, yellow color with a small, fizzy head. Aroma was light sweet malts, light earthy hops. Flavor had an earthy spice character. Light grassy notes. Crisp with a light grain character.
