Purchased on-tap at the bar at the brewery for $5.07. Poured into a plastic cup, per their COVID regulations. Writing this review here from notes I wrote on a napkin from it two days ago.

L - Light bronze and a bit cloudy. Two-finger frothy pale white head. Laces well.
S - Cereal grain and toasted biscuit. A bit of a metallic scent.
T - Toasted Wonderbread. Extremely faint hints of clove. Mineral finish.
F - Refreshing. Medium carbonation with a medium body. Very drinkable.
O - If this were in a can marketed as a macrobrew that was to be slammed at a tailgating event, I would probably look at this in a different light. As a hefe in a nanobrewery, the bar is set slightly higher. What it seriously lacks in flavor and aroma is made up for in its drinkability. I don't plan on getting this again, but I see why the locals enjoy it.

Had this poured from the tap and served in a plastic cup. Touted as a Bavarian style Hefeweizen. Pale straw colored beer, slightly cloudy, with a thin head. Not much aroma coming off of it. Simple flavor though I couldn't place it. Clean finish that ended quickly. Not a stand out beer but one that you could easily have several of in a session.
