Rainy day, at the source. No food truck.

Clear, fruit punch pour, nice head.
Dirty beets, herbal & soft papaya nose.
Not sweet, slight green fruit sourness & heavy earthy beet evil. Stops suddenly & lacks any bite.

At the source on a rainy day, caught under a canopy.

Beautiful medium golden, dense foam, orange gold pour.
Muted citrus & muddled grassy/herbal nose.
Bittersweet, macerated grape & apple, dense but approachable herbal citrus, lingering astringency. Spinach & apple smoothie sweetness; rosemary & hazy citrus peel.
Soft texture, constant pillowy carb.

Good beer.

Dimpled stein at the source. Hot & stormy but no relief of rain.

Frothy, clear, classic golden under pour.
Served just a little chilled. Snappy & semi-sweet upfront, it pushes an herbal agenda while keeping the plain cheerio sweetness at bay.
Soft mouthfeel, cotton, a little salinity. I feel just a bit thirsty.

Decent.
