Golden in color with a two-finger head. Aroma is grains, bread and hay. Taste is also grains, bread and hay is is very well balanced.

Pint can, Back of the fridge... think it's from WW. Gold, light haze, white head. Sweet malt, grain, grasses. Flavor matches the nose with a bit more sweet grasses. Tasty.

Very soft carbonation, giving a bit of a lifeless feel, a shame since otherwise this pint makes for a nice festbier. Sweet toasted grain, apple, lemon, and a little caramel lead to a touch of yeast on the back end, and a gentle floral bitterness on the finish. Almost a great pint, but still good.

Super pale, completely golden coloured body with a thinnish, faint white head that fades very quickly and leaves just about nothing on top, just a few seconds later. Aroma of crisp malt, honey, flowers, grass and a perfumey kick with only a little dose of earthiness and yeast qualities. Light-bodied; Grassy and herbal crispness dominate here with a light perfumey quality and some light hops here with a touch of caster sugar and a bit of malted barley with a fresh earthiness and a little dose of caramelised sugars even coming through, but the crisp malt and grassy qualities help out the dryness which is really noticeable at the end. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness from caster sugar and even a hint of caramel, but nothing from the earthiness or nuts without any real distinct qualities, with the floral and very dry notes by far the strongest. Overall, a pretty crisp and dry beer with a lot of malt notes and dryness, but hardly anything from anywhere else - no real sweetness, no real bitterness and nothing of true complexity here. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 23-October-2021 for US$3,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-November-2021.
