Draft. A- Smoldering ash, wheat. A- Pale yellow color, hazy liquid, minimal white head. T- Smokey, wheat, subtle citrus, touch of bitterness. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Very seldom I see a grodziskie and I regret not getting a full pint of this instead of a mediocre flight. This was tasty. A pretty standard wheat overall but the smoke balances it all out. Done pretty darn well actually.

Draft. A- Mild citrus, doughy, malt, yeast. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, minimal head. T- Watery, malt, mild citrus, bread dough. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- This felt very watered down and lacked almost any flavor. I'd never have guessed this was a sour. More like a blonde...maybe. This was not offensive because it had so little flavor to be so.
