10 oz footed pils glass draft at Lua Brewing in Des Moines, Iowa. The pour is a clear golden with tons of bubbles building up to a foamy white head that falls with pretty lace. The aroma is musty grass floral along with a pleasant soft sweetness. The taste is the grass, dry floral, and general earthiness. The palate is light bodied with soft natural carbonation and a clean unfiltered softly mineral finish. Nice one.
