Draught at brewery, 1/9/22. Clear, bright, honey golden. Small white head steadily fades. Noble hops are spicy and floral and there's some white grape and light apple behind them. Malts are quite indistinct, probably just light and well-attenuated. No booze or flaw. Soft and malty with light bitterness and almost minty hops. There's a light waxiness or something like that, sort of dull, that I can't describe well. But it impedes the bright/crispness. Otherwise it pretty well-balanced, well-hopped with noble hops and nicely attenuated.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Hay and bread aromas. Crisp with biscuit and hay upfront turning to mild bitter earth in the medium length finish.

Cask at GBBF '18, day 3, 09/08/18. Lightly hazed golden blonde with a decent white cap. Nose is pale malts, lemon rind, straw, grassy, grains. Taste comprises pale malts, bready notes, cereals, toasted grains, straw. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Ok lager but I think I'd prefer this on keg.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Good condition. Smooth light malts. Little creamy sweetness. Classic floral nuttyness. Mellow ripe orange citrus. Mild peel. Whisper of spice. Light semi dry finish. Impressive. Could have come straight off the German bar and I doubt many would have been any wiser.

On tap at Jack's Abby, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out some herbal notes, light vegetables and straw. Flavour is very laid back, with crisp straw and biscuity malt. Light touch of herbal character. Nothing very interesting, but clean and drinkable.
