Location: Draft at Capital Ale - Innsbrook, 5/1/14
Aroma: The nose is decent, with some citrus hops, some pale malts, caramel, and bit of grain
Appearance: This one pours a clear gold-orange color with a small, bubbly head on it
Flavor: The taste falls along the same lines, with an alright malt and hop flavor
Palate: The body is medium, leaning light, easy drinking, with a finish that's slightly off
Overall Impression: I thought this was an okay one, but it felt a little flawed to me. It's not bad at all, run-of-the-mill, but not bad. On the bell curve of this style, it would probably be closer to the bottom than it is to the top.

12oz bottle pours a clear amber with almost zero head. Nose has a lot of fruit, apple and pear mostly, some lemon, malt, a little dried citrus peel, cardboard. Flavor is ok, sweet, lightly citrus, cheap malt, leaves. Watery finish. Not bad, but not very good either.

Grapefruit peel, malt underneath. Clear yellow, medium head. Light body, lilly and lemon zest. Dandelion, malt, unmalted barley, and grass on the back end.Tons of complexity, none of the weight, pretty much nails this new style. Surprising malt presence.
