Can at the brewery, 2/4/23. Clear, cantaloupe-tinged golden. Medium-sized, white head shows moderate retention. Bright, fruity, lightly hoppy nose with hints of melon, star fruit, dainty, well-attenuated honey-like malt and fairly minimal breadiness. Yeast shows no diacetyl, thankfully and it's quite clean. In the mouth it's very soft, almost creamy in texture with lovely wood tannin contributing, no doubt. Melon, hints of citrus, bright floral notes and nothing aggressive. Honey and biscuit from the malt are supple and show good depth. Lots of flavor for its size. Quite interesting and well-done.
