Draught at the brewery, Spring 2015.
Lightly hazy, lemon-brass with a small, but fairly dense, white head showing modest retention.
Juicy fruits in the nose take on an apricot-nectarine sort of yellow/stone fruit character. Lots of lime and meyer lemon, with a very solid, honey and biscuit-like base malt character to easily/gently balance. Little/no resin and no alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft, malty, moderately juicy with tons of stone fruit character, light earth, dry nectarine, pineapple and lime. Tight carbonation and great malt depth while still being well-attenuated. No alcohol or flaw. Just a hint of pine on the very end with moderate bitterness that is very well-balanced throughout.
