Poured from 12oz can into a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color, with a short white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains apples, light caramelized malts, some Belgian yeast and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out with a tart apple flavor that is followed by mildly sweet flavors of caramel and fruit. Then a little bit of breadiness comes in from Belgian yeast and a thin malt character. The hops presence is very mild but complementary and brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly tart.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, decent kick, decent representation of style, it’s not a bad beer but there are several others in the style that I would choose first.

Found this on a scenic Byway adventure of Western Massachusetts. Rt. 47 in Hadley. 12 oz. Can 6er.
A light shade of gold, slight haze. A puffy, white foam tower forms fast. Sticks around a short while, leaving only a thin cover.
The yeadt dominated nose gives off, a sweet cream and sour zesty banana thing. The aroma reminds me very much of a traditional German Hefewiezen. Sweet n sour with a golden wheat and wild honey malt.
A big, light, zippy, crisp bite, light and dry mouthfeel is pretty right on. The German Hefewiezen aspects in the aroma is also dominating the flavor. Banana and clove, herbal kick, golden wheat, subtle wild flower honet sweetness. This could be a Saison/Hefe cross. Decent complexity, easy to drink and is super refreshing and clean overall.
Despite the style guideline challenges, this is a very enjoyable brew.
