US Pint on tap in Lucky Baldwin's (Pasadena) on 1st July 2024. Deep amber, fast fading off-white affair on top. Semi-sweet caramel feel to the taste, light bitterness throughout, happy enough with this.

4 oz. pour on tap at Stout Burgers & Beers, Studio City. It's a clear, pale yellow with light sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is moderately strong malt, bread, biscuit. Taste is strong pale malts--maybe Pilsner as well?--with bready, biscuity component. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and lingering dry bitterness and yeast. Overall, nice strength and sweetness with late bitterness of flavor; aroma is a bit mild.

Guest tap at Highland Park Brewery where it was listed at 4.8%. Cloudy gold with a crackery clove tangy wheat flavor. Decent, a bit eggy but I'm surprised to see this is a Top 50 beer.
