Bottle from Monk's: pours clear gold with white head. Mild aroma, with sourdough notes, yeast, but lacking a little in character. Some lemony feel to it. I feel the complexity could have been taken up a notch beer itself is very drinkable and occasionally you can get a nice floral whiff. Feel that it does not live up to potential.
