Draft offering at Pizza Boy served in a sort of large weizen/pils glass. The brew appears a hazy golden yellow color with a persistent white froth that maintains from a constant stream of bubbles. As the cap fades, some patchy lace sticks to the glass.
The aroma is filled with clove and pepper. Some fruit quality like pear/apple blends with a bit of freshly cracked black pepper. This is quite a spicy and yeast driven grissette, not necessarily the citrus beer you might expect based off the name.
The taste is dry and grainy with plenty of yeasty phenolics. It is not bad but the yeast profile is the dominating trait of this leaving no room for any grain, hop or "zest" character that might have been added.
This is a crisp, light and easy drinking brew with a firm bitterness that emerges as it warms. A nice, low key drinking brew that I could toss back in quantity.
