Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has grass and light earthy pine with some grains backing. Flavor has grass and grains with a bit of bread backing.

On tap at Reno’s West, Lansing. Pretty standard offering, similar to several of Dragonmead’s other hoppy beers, but with less malt emphasis, instead focusing on the grassy, medicinal hops. Light-bodied and smooth.

Pours the usual, amber with some lighter golden hues, and a small head. Smells only mildly hoppy, not much else. Starts out slightly hoppy with a twang of bitterness, but some very sweet malt, maybe too sweet for this style, comes in to play. Body holds up though, decent medium body and ends on a slightly bitter note. As it warms, there is a true hops flavor comes through, with a soft creamy texture. Good, but fairly laid back.
