Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 7/12 and The Guild, 9/2/17.
Clear, bright, beeswax and goldenrod yellow body shows plentiful carbonation and a fluffy white head that shows moderate retention.
Fresh yeast adds a plethora of minerality as the malt adds a snappy graininess to it that is softly balanced by light honey-like notes from the malt, as well. Proper hopping with noble hops or something akin, showing no pine/grapefruit/resin/orange or any of that jazz. Just fresh cut grass and herbs. No alcohol or flaw.
Crisp, clean, clear and full of mineral water-like notes with fresh yeast, light baked bread and plentiful, but well-attenuated honey-like malt notes. Snappy hops add flavorful grass and herbs with gentle bitterness and there's a proper grainy character on the finish that is quenching and crisp, keeping the beer dry and drinkable. Moderate, engaging carbonation with no flaw or alcohol. Immaculately brewed and highly flavorful stuff. Wonderfully-done to-style. Man do I have to get down to this brewery.

Pours a nice gold from a can. Crisp grainy aroma lightly assaulted with brisk lemon. Slightly wrestled with crackers in the mouth, palate is firm, but fair. Pretty good beer.

32 oz. Crowler share by Matt B. Crystal clear golden color. Smells of corn adjuncts, grain, and hints of honey. Mouthfeel has low carbonation with a sweet grain aftertaste. Flavor is of roasted grains, and biscuits. Finishes very tame with no lingering aftertaste at all. Drinkability is decent. Not bad but of course nothing to get excited about.
