Light-bodied with flavors of roasted coffee, malt and a bit of milk chocolate. The finish is roasty with a coffee and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear bright gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is bready with something more. Arguably medium body. Flavor is bready, but there's more to it - a mild roastiness; a light spiciness. A veginess? Can't pin it down, but the flavor is much more than a typical pale lager. Lik'in it more than most of those.

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Slightly hazy golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a wispy film. Short strings of lace. Citrus, wheat and spice in the nose. Light body with flavors of spiced lemon, salty wheat and malt. The finish is mildly tart with a lemony aftertaste. Decent overall.
