Draft: Poured a bright blonde color ale with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of citrusy hops with light cereal notes also noticeable is pleasant enough. Taste is a nice mix of citrusy hops notes with some light cereal and some light bitter notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well brewed and refreshing with good drinkability factor.
