Draft: Poured a light golden color ale with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light cereal notes. Taste is a mix of light cereal notes with some floral citrusy hops notes and light bitter notes are also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Refreshing and enjoyable without being entirely focus on hops.

A hazed golden ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, light citrus pulp, OK. In mouth, a nice crisp biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, citrus pulp, very nice and smooth. On tap at Clybourn location.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden orange with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of pear with backing grain and a bit of grass. Flavor starts slightly sweet with a grain and pear note but is more slightly bitter pear and bread in the finish.

Draft, at Goose Island. As part of their Single Hop Summer, GI made this batch with Tettnang hops. My pull had very low carbonation, like a Bell’s Two Hearted I once had, so there’s a nice comparison there. The hops were much more assertive and bitter than I would have expected from a nice German hop, it somewhat overpowers the lighter sweetness of this light brown malt beer.
