16oz can pours a mostly transparent honey gold with some clumpy white head. Nose has honey and grain, floral, doughy. Flavor is brioche and flowers. Creamy finish. Decent enough.

On tap at Dovetail, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbaceous notes, light grass, and biscuity malt. Flavour is moderately herbaceous, with light grassiness and straw. Not exactly the expression I want in the style. It's competent but not worthy of its accolades IMO.

16oz can. I'm sure I rated this before in the backlog. Bright, drinkable, straightforward lager. Medium bodied, bready, brewhouse tone. Simple, good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is wheat and straw. Slick body, wheat, citrus, toasted grain, light finish, very good.
