Poured from a growler into a pint glass.
Slightly hazy, light yellow color, white small head, not a lot of retention.
Aroma is pleasant if not complex or robust. Some fruitiness and yeastiness.
Quite light bodied, well under medium, flavor brings across some yeastiness, banana, orange, possibly coriander.
Decent, easy to drink. Needs some improvement.

Poured initially at the brewery and then from a growler into a pint glass. It pours a clear straw color and has a fairly white 1 inch head that leaves a nice lacing. The carbonation is readily visible.
The aroma includes a healthy note of citrussy hops with combination of banana and grass. A minimal level of alcohol comes through. There is minimal yeast components.
The taste is a nice combination of orange peels with banana and grass clippings. I also pick up some earthy components that make it fairly well balanced.
The mouthfeel is also a bit better than average. It is a light/medium bodied beer with some spiciness, as well as leaving a pleasant dryness feeling on your palate, like orange peel. It has a well balanced level of carbonation.
Overall, I do feel this is fairly drinkable. It is not overwhelming with alcohol or any one particular flavor. It is smooth and quite easy to have more than one.
