Can from the brewery. It pours cloudy pale gold with a thick white head. The nose is soft, clean, doughy, cracker, light grass, mild funk and brioche. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, light bread, cracker, grassy, minerals and citrus rind with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Simple, well-rounded and pretty crushable.

Can shared in NH. Thanks to Paul. Pours unclear yellow with a creamy white head. The nose has dry lemon rinds, straw. Light sweet flavor, some minerals, dirty hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Fairly dry on the finish, some floral notes, more lemon rind. Not bad.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a pale hazy orange to yellow color. A one finger white foamy head dissipated within less than a minute.
The smell started off with a nice dry to sweet woodiness rolling over subtle earthy to herbal qualities and then subtle sprucy/piney aspects. Citrus does add a subtle element as well.
The taste was semi-sweet with a nice bitter citrus underneath. Sprucy/piney qualities end up blending into the herbal/earthiness and leads into a semi-sweet woody aftertaste and dry earthy woody finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to almost medium on the body with a decent sessionability despite the dry woody texture that comes about on my tongue.
Overall, definitely a Hermit Thrush beer adding their take \"dry woody\" to \"somewhat sour.\" Its a definitely a dry Belgian pale ale, go for it, if you’re looking for something different.
