A: Clear golden color with small carbonation bubbles. Good retention of the head.
S: Only a faint aroma of sweet grain.
T: Sweet maltiness up front, with a light bitter hoppiness at the end. I'm detecting some kind of spiciness in there too, but not something I can put my finger on exactly.
M: Crisp, medium-light bodied.
O: Not particularly complex, but was quite refreshing. I'm not sure if I would regularly choose this over one of Sierra Nevada's other offerings (I'm particularly fond of their torpedo extra ipa), but I could see having a couple of these sitting outside on a Sunday afternoon when I want just want a refreshing drink.

This is a real pretty beer, both when being made and the final product. Dark yellow, big 1" head white. The aroma is pretty neutral.
Taste still leans hoppy for style true to form for Sierra Nevada, this one drops plenty of wheat and barley, lemon like feels. Lots of pleasantries for someone who doesn't like the over bittering hopping, this one has it above average for style, but stays in check otherwise. Definite breadiness. Hearty carbonation. Has a dry and almost chalk like finish after a full mouthfeel gamut of bread feels.

From notes. L: Pours brilliant orangish gold with a 1” gold tinted white persistent foam collar. S: Bready, biscuit malt aromas T: Light bread flavors with a spicy hop accent. F: Medium body and carbonation. O: A big, bready bock that is well balanced and easy to drink.
