16oz can from Hop & Bottles. Clear golden pour, foamy white head recedes to thin cap. Light hoppy aroma, earthy, pine. Taste brings an approachable hoppiness, light pine, green stick, grassy. Pretty mellow overall. Light lingering bitterness.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has a muffled pot-like hop character, with a crusty bready malt base. Flavour is grainy and muffled, with a poor hop expression, earthiness, and bready notes. Not happy with the structure or hop expression here. Needs work.
