No canning date

Pours a slightly foggy straw body with a finger or so of steady white foam; recedes slowly to a frothy collar and thin layer of cap.

Aroma sweet malts touched with earthy hay eventually drying to an earthy hoppiness.

Taste sweet straw and malts with an orange/citrus fruit pop on the mid-palate as it fades back to sweeter malts and earthy, bitter herbs into the finish.

Mouthfeel brings an expected light body with medium carbonation and an easygoing gritty prickle that peaks into a crisp refreshing swallow on the thinner side.

A straightforward, slightly sweeter take on a cream ale that hits a refreshing tone while bringing a bit of its own flair to the profile; some inconsistencies here and there, but a really solid brew overall.

Highly drinkable but lacking significant flavor. Pours a foamy straw color. Smell is that of sweet cracker malts. Taste follows suit, it's a light malty beer but's it is highly quaffable. Refreshing carbonation with no lingering flavors and not too dry. Good replacement for macro in the fridge.

Now that it's in cans it will be a good boat beer for those who are looking to convert some macro drinkers to craft.
