A: Pours a crystal clear pale golden amber in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and faint golden yellow + copper highlights. The beer has a two finger tall foamy off-white head that reduces to a large patch of thin film covering about 95% of the surface of the beer surrounded by a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Light to moderate aromas of cereal grain + toasted malts with a light amount of earthy + grassy hops.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of cereal grain + toasted malts with minimal amounts of sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of earthy + grassy hops which imparts a light amount of bitterness which fades pretty quickly.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially crisp.

O: Nothing special here in my opinion, easy to drink but not a beer that I would go out of my way to try again.
