Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a pale yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a mild pace. Light lace - somewhat stringy.
The aroma was somewhat herbal and floral spiked with a little bit of piney hop spice. Brisk grassiness at the end.
The flavor was somewhat zesty, floral and just a touch of hop spice. Slight aftertaste of the hop spice and floral.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt solid. Light hop spice in the finish.
Overall, it's pretty solid as a session IPA or APA, and could come back to easily in warmer weather.

Poured a cloudy yellow body with one-finger head and lace ring. Mild aroma that is airy/watery but has a bit of spice. Easy drinking beer that is sharp/cutting with some floral hops and spice with cracker like finish; overall a bland beer that is off-putting.

on tap at the brewery.
light in color, not much head. mild light malt flavor, so the herbal flavors are a bit too dominate for me. too flowery. ok concept though.
