$1.67 bottle from Trader Joe’s, Charlottesville. Pours light gold with a large white head. Smells of slightly sweet grasses. Tastes of light grasses. That’s it. Bitter... bland... thin... watery.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a pale gold colored body that leaves a one finger white head that dies down to a paper thin film within twenty seconds. Barely any lacing coats the sides of the glass and the body is too hazy for any carbonation to be seen rising.
The smell had some grainy and cereal malts combined with some spicy hops. After the beer warms a bit, some sage and thyme came out.
The taste had a graininess/cereal maltiness coming back pretty strong.
The palate sat about a light to medium with a dry finish, decently balanced.
Overall, ok, not bad, would I have this again?, hmmm... probably only on tap.

At the DC Craft Beer Festival. Poured a hazy dull golden color with an off-white head. Very light floral notes. Aroma was light crisp malts. Some malt, light herbal hops. Inoffensive. meh. mostly unremarkable.
