Sampled at the brewery, pours a clear gold with a ring of white head. Nose has nothing... malt obviously, some soda... but not much. Flavor has flower petals, mild perfume, a little chewed bubblegum. Watery finish.

500 ml bottle purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery. Aroma has an odd yogurt or off yeast character, wet cereal grain. First taste is like lemon, seltzer water mixed with Cream of Wheat Cereal. Body is quite thin and watery. Not completely offensive but I wish I had seen ClarkVV’s review of this before I bought it. It was still drinkable but just barely. This one needs some work for sure.
Maybe a bad batch? If so this batch should not have been bottled and sold. Something amuck.

Draught at King’s Head Pub, 4/2/16.
A moderately hazy, waxy-goldenrod yellow body is topped by a medium-sized white head that quickly fades to a ring.
Wax and crayon-like notes in the nose, with maybe a touch of metal, some dry, bland wheat character and a touch of vanillin. Not much going on here, and something is obviously quite off....
The flavor isn’t full of diacetyl, as expected, rather there’s just a trace of it. But there’s no malt character, no hops, very little yeast character even. Just a plasticy-waxy, slightly metallic, very bland, watery mess. Yikes.
