A fluff of barley and oat provide the foundation. Strata hops from Crosby Hops are highlighted with a smidgen of two other fine hops landing supporting roles. Flavors and scents of stone fruits, melon, red berry citrus, and the perfect waft of herb. No fruit, juice, or sweeteners added. This beer celebrates the tiny midge dry fly which, on days of no appreciable hatch, can bring large trout to the surface

Aromas are citrus, malt, straw, cat pee and a bit of cereal. Flavors are similar to nose. Mild bitter dominates with enough citrus and carbonation to balance. Decent.

16 oz. can. Aroma is mild citrus fruits with some baked bread. The backbone is mild bread like malt with decent citrus, and a mild earthy or herbal tone in the finish. Lightly bitter with hints of juice in the texture.
Pretty average overall. Although I certainly would try more from this brewery.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, receding foamy white head, spotty lacing. Light citrusy aroma with some woody, smoky notes. Taste is fruity, citrus, earthy, woody, herbal. A lot of background flavors come and go around the light citrusy base.
