Grower shared by Eric at Capitol Beer. Pours light copper with a white head. Aroma seems bready and citrus. Flavor is darkish bready with a hint of vanilla and something like citrus. Could be very light toffee. Light grassy-herb hop. Tasty marzen.

Tap. Pours clear light amber with a medium off white head and decent lacing. Light aroma of grain and caramel. Flavor same, medium sweet, bit of bitterness. Light body.

On draft at Tap 25 in Livermore and enjoyed in the company of Livermore spokesman, ratebeer’s own, joeneugs. It pours with a deep gold body and slight haze supporting a snappy off white head of foam and some sheet lacing. The aroma offers up apples and apricots and sugary malt sweetness as well as some grainy cereal notes too. The taste is rich and crisp with wheat and apples and dried apricot and moving into sweet apple esters. Behind those notes I get some bitter floral hops to help even this out and create further crispness and refreshment. Tasty.
