I’ve had this a few times, but not for what I think has been a few years. Finally went to Carlyle and had it. Surprised they don’t make it in house, but whatever. Poured a clear yellow with a slight golden hue color. Aroma was light grain, very mild fruit. Flavor was light wheat. Very crisp, not exactly my thing, but a far better option over macro beers.

I’ve had this a few times, but not for what I think has been a few years. Finally went to Carlyle again and had it. Surprised they don’t make it in house, but whatever. Poured a nice clear orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma had some light floral notes, sweet malts. Very traditional pale ale.
