16 oz draft pour at BKS Crossroads Tasting Room in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a clear golden copper, with a foamy light tan head that is lasting, and leaves behind nice lace. The aroma is biscuity malt, cereal cracker, and a nice floral. The taste is the clean biscuity malt, paired nicely with muted malt sweetness, a bit of the floral and finishes with a toastiness. The palate is light to medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and crisp malt sweet finish.

16 oz can shared by csbosox. The pour is a slightly hazed copper orange with a smaller white foamy head. The aroma is big dank weed, along with citrus pineapple and tropical fruits. The taste is very much the nose, with the dank, resin, and big on the tropical and pineapple citrus. The palate is medium bodied, with soft carbonation, and the dank resin carrying the finish. Weird, interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

16 oz can generously given to me by my friend Thomas. The pour is a crystal clear golden with some light copper. Big two inch very lasting foamy off white head. The aroma is caramel malt, honey sweet, lager yeast and clean herbal hop. The taste is full malt flavor, the caramel, honey, grass, herbal, and nice mineral. Great flavor integration. The palate is light to medium bodied with soft natural carbonation, the malt, mineral and nice herbal finish. Nice one, thank you Thomas.
