Pours cloudy gold with a short, off-white head. Aroma is yeasty, wheat, citrus. Taste is slightly bitter wheat, yeast. A dull sourness to it. Not impressed.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of peach, pineapple and bread. The taste is also fruity with peach, plum and pineapple with dry bready notes and a bit of a peppery hop bite. Medium bodied. Best I’ve had from this brewery, which isn’t saying much.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear light straw body, thin ring of off-white carbonation. Light, adjuncty, sweet grain nose with light floral hops. Watery, cerealy, adjuncty body, grainy with light sweetness and nuttiness. There is a distinct somewhat offensive vegetal quality. Not good.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with visible carbonation with a small but thick white head that lasts. Aroma has strong malty profile with caramel, nuts and an awkward strong hay note. Flavor is very malty as well with the same awkward hay note as well as cereal and bread.
