Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a nice white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of sweet cereal notes with light floral undertones. Taste is also dominated by sweet cereal notes with limited floral notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing to write home about but no brewing flaws either.

Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light coriander notes with some wheat cereal notes.

Definitely not the best beers from this brewery with not enough wheat malt presence.
