Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of grass with a hint of flora and a bread backbone. Flavor has a floral grassy hop note with a bit of citrus and a grain backbone.

Crowler thanks to Jimmy! Rated from backlog (no Jimmy, I did not sit on it all this time). Pours hazy amber, medium creamy off-white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is pine, light butter, oranges, caramel. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, caramel, oranges, pine. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. This beer hits the intangibles well, but misses the mark on what really matters.
