Finally tracked this down at enibru. It pours a milky gold with a wonderful nose: a bit sweet, fruity, grassy & hoppy. Medium bodied with quite a sharp carbonation. The flavors is really clean, some crackery light malts, a good dose of fruits, nice green bitter hops and a lingering bitter finish. Well balanced and easy to drink - good stuff, I’d just say the appearance isn’t dialed in yet as I’d like it to be clearer, it looks somewhat witbier like at the moment.

On tap at Eni-bru a slightly clearer gold than 15 to Go but still a bit opaque. A cloudy straw gold with a hoppy west coast bouquet. Med to full bodied with a fairly round carbonation. The taste is exceptionally well balanced, quite a bitter hop kick giving you fruits, pine, plums, maybe some wheat & light malts? This is scarily drinkable I can see pounding this back on a summer day. Wonderfully crisp and hoppy.
