4oz pour at the Seaport outpost. Clear gold with some white head, Nose has plenty of wheat and bubblegum, malt, clove, chewy circus peanut. Flavor is heavier on the sweet stuff, malty and big candy notes. Estery, banana, some scone. Finishes sweet and full bodied but... oddly smooth. Ok, Nearly missed, but ok.

Common draught, 7/28/23. Hint of haze. Deep golden-bronze. White head immediately to light cover. Nutty wheat, white pepper, light clove and cracker/biscuit malt. Pepper, orange, lemon, light clove. Soft, wheat-heavy texture with good malt depth and attenuation. Pretty pedestrian yeast. While it's far from offensively full of stuff like bubble gum, heavy clove and banana, it's not all that elegant/interesting either.

Growler at home in Salisbury. The aroma holds lots of dry biscuits, cereal, faint dough, straw, touches of lemon zest. Light to medium sweet flavor with relaxed, dry wheat character, more biscuits and cereals, mild bitter hay, further lemon notes. Light to medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. More of the same on the finish, great balance, more biscuits, subtle white grapes, straw, flaked wheat. Lovely stuff. Just effortlessly drinkable. Wonderful.

Pours hazy pale gold into a tulip. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Bubblegum and fall fruit aromas. Medium bodied with sweet bubblegum and yeast upfront turning fruity in the lasting soft finish.
