Bottle dated 11/4/14, gifted by AdamJackson, much thanks. Pours a hazy straw color with very little head in a goblet. Aroma shows lemon zest and pale grains, light yeast.

The Flavor show the same exact floor as the aroma leads you to believe. This style is best suited for a hot summer months. Not sure why Smutty bottled this in Nov. It really is meant to be a refresher after yard work. Or working out in the fields in France way back when. Simple and straightforward.

12.7 oz corked and caged bottle, thanks Drake! New Hampshire tick. Aroma is seedy berries, cantaloupe, orange candy circus peanuts. Pours slightly hazy copper with a collapsing beige head. Taste is a vast improvement over the aroma with a nice oaky coconut vanilla flavor. A little alcohol astringency. Pretty tasty.
