Draft: Strong aroma of overripe lemon, feet, and coriander, with the latter surprisingly subtle. Opaque amber, thin head. Coriander is more prominent on the palate, yeastiness is more subtle, and there is a strong grass, mint, and lemon zest hop presence. Very hoppy wit, tasty, but not very true to style if that matters to you.
