just a good beer! nothing fancy.

 

Can in trade from jcwattsrugger, thanks for the opportunity!
Slightly hazy deep yellow with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Earthy spicy grainy with a hint of sweet bread and cereal maltiness. Spicy earthy hops are faint with a bit of light fruitiness and a hint of sulfur. Not horrible

 

 

 

 

 

i am an enormous fan of the session ales that have interesting grain bases. this is a cool beer, sort of a grisette meets a light blonde beer, infinitely crushable but something quite out of the ordinary, which really turns me on. this is brewed with a number of malts not often found in beers this light. its got a little haze to the appearance, but is very clean in flavor and texture. some wheat in here for sure, but also a little rye and maybe some oats as well, its got a very cool cereal medley base to it, just a little sweet in the middle, and dry and even spicy by the finish when combined with the bittering hops there. i like how its interesting in a subtle way, still a beer to be consumed pint after pint, but just a little bit outside the norm. light on the tongue, but still with some fluffiness from the malts, and expert carbonation. this is a four season crusher, and quite possibly my favorite beer i had from confluence, although the truth is that all the beer these guys are making right now is excellent!

Aroma light, cereal and malt notes.
Taste is light with biscuit and mild tanginess, very light bitterness.
Feel is very light, clean and refreshing. Carbonation is light.
Overall a light and refreshing wheat-type from a solid brewer.
