Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to LKS. A light haze on this gold beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a light dry creamy sweetness. A mild funk on a fairly bright citrus background. Dry and slightly spicy finish. Nice enough.

Bottle shared in NH. Picked up from the brewery. Pours clear yellow with some sediment and a small, fizzy white head. Lightly sweet, some oak, some buttery Chardonnay, a little lemon. Light bodied with spritzy, massaging carbonation. Lightly tart, quenching finish, some woody dryness. Not bad overall.

Draught at Blackback Pub, 4/7/22. Heavily hazy, bronze-brass-maize with a small, white head showing low retention. Nose is soft, juicy, with moderate pine but no big resin. Clean yeast with moderate fruitiness and a strong helping of base malts adding honey and biscuit. Light touch of alcohol, no flaw noted. Soft and juicy with an almost cherry-like note compliments of the Galaxy. Full-on OJ and grapefruit from the Citra with fun minerality, hints of earth and light-to-moderate pine. Malty with great attenuation. Really something in here for everyone. Malty yet dry, juicy yet with ample pine and bitterness.
