A light cloudiness on this gold beer. Grain, snappy hops, floral, and some toasted malt. Medium bodied. Finish is grain and lightly sweet toasted malt. Nice beer.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish, dark golden colour with average to huge, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Slightly husky and minimally spicy, pale malty as well as slightly yeasty fruity and minimally doughy yeasty aroma, hints of mirabelle, apricot, brioche, whiffs of protein. Taste is sweet-ish, biscuity, pale malty, yeasty fruity and mildly bitter, fruity hoppy, notes of apricot, mirabelle, a touch of mandarine, orange, some protein.
Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, dense, creamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, refreshing, a tad sweet though - good.

Bottle via Bottlecraft North Park, stamped 7/2026; $5.25.
Stemless wineglass back at the hotel after my last day.
Chill hazed, more like LA smog, honey gold with a rich bleached lather.
Smells of sweet breakfast flakes & faded veggie Euro hops.
Itchy upfront, more pronounced herbal hops, very sweet helles middle, some slight menthol on the finish.
Crispy, somewhat acidic, easy but basic & more than a bit boring.
Whatever.

Tastes much more like a Belgian blond than a helles. Florals, light coriander. But there still is a bit of that snappy grain and mercury hint in there from a good helles. Pours hazy golden with pretty good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish. Quite nice. Tap at Midlands.
