Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a lighter straw yellow glow that shows about twenty five per cent opacity, all under a great four to five centimetre tall off-white microfoamed head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of fresh grass and hay with some yeast, biscuits, hay and a lot of flowers, but not so much malt, alcohol or sugars noticeable. Light-bodied; Very crisp, cereal, biscuits and very funky malts show up front (No glutens in this one?!?) with a slight herbal and perfumey characteristic from the hops with a bit of a soft sweetness at the end that shows a little candy. Aftertaste is dry, very crisp and quite herbal and perfumey, without much sweetness, but the malt here is very noticeable still and quite frankly, showing an odd dryness, all with the bready yeasts still here. Overall, a funky beer due to the malt and yeast -t he hops are okay, but don't show much of the Cashmere side. Nice enough to try from New York, but not good/great and especially not worth trying to find! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (57th @ Lexington Avenue), New York on 15-January-2022 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-January-2022.
