Looks like summer in a glass. Straw yellow with that wheat haze touch. Clean, refreshing looking beer with a massive white froth that simply plasters the glass with lacing.

Light smoke, slightly medicinal aromas. A touch of dried grass in the finish.

The flavor boasts a soft wheat sweetness, beechwood like light smokiness, said grass, and a mild metallic and tart finish.

As stated above, sweet and smokey, but when it comes to feel, those come second to the superbly light, watery and crisp, bubbly carbonation. A perfect feel for a warm summer day.

Not well versed in the Grodziskie ways, I can still say this is a very enjoyable beer. I assume after a light and quick education of the style, this hits all the marks: light, sessionable, smokey, wheat. Sold.

Prost!

On tap at Bailey's.

A pale straw yellow with a thin white head with good retention and lacing, this looks solid. The nose is delicious. Smoky, tart, light, mildly fruity with some straw and grainy wheat notes. Light and refreshing with a mild tartness, possibly a grainy tannin note. The palate opens light and moderately smoky with fresh oak smoke coupled with a crisp and clean grainy note. Light, arguably a little too light, in body and softly hopped lending a mild bitterness to go with the high carbonation. Drying, smoky and refreshing on the finish. Quite excellent.
