Draft, 4 oz sampler glass
Dark blonde to gold and foamy. Very spicy from the yeast, hop aroma and flavors are flowers and fresh dirt. Not in love with it, but respect it for being interesting.

Sample # 4 at the brewpub 1/29/14
Definitely something more than blonde in color, this light brew is a clear and bright gold. A strong, sticky off-white head leaves big lace clinging thickly to the walls of the glass. In the sample glass, the substantive chunkiness of it could hardly be contained until the beer was near the bottom.
The nose has lots of pale malts with the biggest note being a crackery one so strong I can almost bite it. It's also extremely herbal. It actually reminds me of a very (unoffensively) pungent weed that used to grow on lawns where I grew up, sort of earthy and green with a spiciness to it.
The flavor holds a nice and surprisingly firm floral bitterness. There's also a whole lot of herb on the tongue, as much as in the nose. Malts still hold it down tight, nice and dry but with a certain hoppy juiciness underlying. Herb and dryness make it a hint medicinal, but not overly.
Certainly dry but not uneasily so, this beer has a light and bright body that's very clean. Without compromising crispness, it's also surprisingly smooth. It's actually smoother than many beers that are intended to be smoother according to style, but somehow neither the crisp bite nor the airy, bubbly lightness are given up for it. Impressive, really.
