Draft at SAVOR. Poured a mostly clear crisp looking clear lager with a small white head. Aroma was grassy, with light, sweet malts. Nice trips crispness, really pleasant stuff.

Draft at SAVOR. Poured a hazy, bright orange color with a very small white head. Aroma was really big peach fruit. Light tartness, but not overly sour, more like a light funky character. Solid peach character. Delicious beer.

After quite a bit of years of hunting, and waiting to open this, I finally had my chance in 2022. Pours a clear blonde, very small white head. Scent is full on American (balanced, high quality though) tartness. Citric, elegant, yet intense. Very fresh - after all these years ! Fruityness is mild. Taste is full, super elegant and fresh. Citric, mild peach. Perfectly balances, harmony is legendary in this one. Medium acidity. Wood, full on intensity, yet so , so damn elegant. I could hardly believe it myself iif I wasn't actually drinking this, but this one shows litterally 0 signs of (negative) age factors. Waaw, this white whale didn't dissapoint at all !
