Canned 6/16/25, drunk 8/4/25.
Clear, soft, brassy-golden. Large, white head fades steadily to partial cover.
Sweet corn balanced by bright, herbal hops. Clean and fairly snappy on the finish, though filled with excellent malt, as well (honey, white bread, biscuit).
Good bitterness and maltiness with excellent attenuation. Herbal noble hops and sweet corn are rounded. But there's bread and biscuit on the finish with a lager-like crispness. Really appreciate the deep malt and corn flavor and texture yet appropriate attenuation and refreshing acidity and dryness on the finish.

Pours hazy gold into a willi. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Papaya and guava aromas. Sweet with hot honey, mild plastic and meadow upfront turning to earthy spice and banana before the bitter earth finish.

12oz pour at the brewery is a lighly hazy corn yellow with some sudsy white head. Nose has... corn... and flowers and yeast and some light dough. Flavor is more dough forward, floral and herbal notes, light hand soap, light green melon. Finishes fairly dry, little bite, light bodied.
