Keg at the brewery. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Little palate, starts smooth but has decent fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Light lager malts. A mildly sour citrus, grapefruit tang and a touch of lemon. Light finish. Feels a little skewed but okay.

Keg atvthe brewery tap. Pours mostly clear gold with a tight, creamy white head. Simple helles, biscuity, with some faint lemony tang, paper, vague herbal notes, straw. Light bodied with average carbonation. Alright balance I'm the finish, more crisp biscuits, lemon peel, white bread, low bitterness. So so.
