Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: soft amber color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: slightly herbal to floral hoppiness over a light cracker malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a semi-sweet malty way; finishes crisp with the floral hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; mobile on the tongue
Overall: I can't knock a blonde ale that is as easy going as it is. Would be a nice grill side beer, I'll give it that.

Part of their 12-pack sampler for Vermont spring 2023 trip. Lightly hazy, golden colour with an amber hue. A bubbly white cap, average stay and some spots of lacing. Malty nose with some wheat-banana notes and mild grassy hops. Straw malt base with maybe a touch of wheat. The hops gives a herbal finish, drying things and hints of citrus blended in. A thinner, E-Z-drinking, hazy Ale with more hops to not be syrupy. Works.
