Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: clear yellow to almost copper color with a two finger and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: faint floral to earthy hops with a clean crackery/biscuity malty character
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a sturdy sweetness; finishes cleanly with the malts
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; great smoothness
Overall: though there might not be much to say, I will say this - this was brewed nice and clean enough to warrant me not pouring the next out and just sip by the can next to my grill or possibly take cans of to go fishing.

Canned 3/7/24 at Zero Gravity, drunk 4/6/24. Scant honey-like malt. But of heft and some herbal and earthy hops. Not all that bright or aromatic. Sorta syrupy and poorly-carbonated. Heavy sourdough. Moderate bitterness. Lingering cakey, rather sluggish malts. Not very crisp or well-yeasted. Not lovin' these Zero Gravity contracted beers at all....

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white micro head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Cracked malt and meadow aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and straw upfront turning to a dry, earthy noble hop finish. Becomes a little sour as it warms, docking it a little.
