Thanks to GRG1313 for sharing this one at the LA Beer Talk bottle share.

Pours a murky light yellow with a foamy bone head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Tiny dots of lace drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is slightly sour with grain, honey, earth, lemon, herb, and slight chlorine aromas. Taste is much the same with sour lemon juice, floral, earth, and chlorine flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is drinkable, but I am getting some chlorine qualities that diminish the drinkability for me.

Serving type: bottle.

I really like this brewery primarily because most of their beers just seem to be in my wheelhouse. I love the light, fresh, acidic sort of Berliner-Saison juxtaposition of their beer. So, if you don't like the style don't listen to my review.

Pours light yellow with fast fading light head. Nose of lemon verbena, lemon pie and underlying tones of peaches - just hints. There is a real elegance yet sophistication in a beer that on its face seems simple and one dimensional until you take a few drinks. Flavors are just elegant and balanced.

Good stuff.
