Super clear, very crisp golden coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of crisp lager yeast, light biscuits, a dash of citrus fruits and a good amount of very fresh, low alpha acid (perhaps Saaz?) hops that show nicely in the nose. Light-bodied; Very crisp dry flavours that have some herbal and grassiness to them, a moderate and easy-drinking malt note that shows some light tea notes, but the hops show through at the end and provide a solid bitterness from the lighter alpha acids, but a good finish throughout. Aftertaste is dry, grapefruity, lemoney and very biscuity from the malts and the yeast. Overall, a nice and very refreshing, easy-drinking beer that hits the marks nicely and goes down quite easily while still providing a good deal of flavours - nice! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, given to me after my one of my hockey games, sampled in the parking lot, here in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia sampled on 21-July-2021 while enjoying the outdoors and nice evening after a win.

10oz draft pour at CraftHouse Arlington. Poured a nice deep caramel color with a small brown tinge to it. Aroma was dark, dried cherries. Light wheat, with some banana and clove. Flavor was pleasant, dark fruits, light wheat grain. Booze is there, but is warming, pleasant.
