12 ounce bottle, 6/9/19. Isn't this kinda cheating a little? Throwing lemon into a beer style already known for its lemony hop profile? Clear gold, thin fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of pale bready malt, lemon. Taste is lemon, pale malt. Thin, high carbonation.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a black color with a medium sized foamy brown head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweet sugar, candied pecan, and artificial vanilla. The flavor was sweet with sugar, candied nuts and vanilla. Very long finish. Medium body.
