7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Can drank at the hotel in NOLA - picked up at Stein’s. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Pleasant biscuity malts in the nose, some hay, ripening citrus. Light-medium sweet flavour with fairly rich and bready malt character, moderate grassy bitterness, lemon and orange rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more biscuit character, grassy and rindy bitterness, pale bread, straw. A nicely balanced and very drinkable lager.

On tap at the Modern Times Festival of Funk. It pours a hazy orange color with a small, bubbly head. The aroma has some melon, a little citrus and bread. Grassy. The flavor is pretty much the same with some honeydew melon, mild tartness and some flowers in the finish. A little on the sweet side with a creamy mouth feel. Good.

On tap at the Modern Times Festival of Funk. It pours a yellow/orange color with a white head. The aroma is bready with some bread crust and light notes of musty brett. The flavor is mildy tart and lemony with some fresh bread and flowers. Really pleasant, soft bretty funk. Light bodied. Awesome and crushable.
