Greenway draught, 4/14/23. Hazy, deep brass-bronze. Frothy white head quickly to spotty cover. Sweet and doughy nose. Maybe some light to moderate lactic character. Yellow fruits and thankfully no crude phenols. Bit of spicy, almost citrusy notes on end. Plentiful, rustic grains. Clean. Soft, sweet from ester, with chewy malt and lots of honey character. Big white pepper and orange peel notes with good attenuation and some moderate minerality on the finish. No lactic character, it turns out. This is well-done. There's nothing crude not is it overly bready or doughy in flavor. Nice and malty for its size with excellent carbonation and malt textures. Clean, no alcohol noted.

Pours hazy pale gold into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet yeast and earthy marshmallow aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and sour fruits upfront turning to a lasting yeast and sourdough finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with some creamy white head. Nose is soft, grassy, some mild yeasty esters, light clove, some mild pepper, a little honey. Flavor has lots of honey sweetness, light hay, some flower petal, light clove and bubblegum, a little orange. Clean, silky finish. Soft and drink able. Sort of a hybrid.
