Pours a clear straw color with 1 finger white head. Retention is moderate and there is very little lacing.
The nose is extremely grainy and earthy. There is a faint floral hops bitterness is the very back. Although its hard to pick up.
Again very grainy. There is however this time around a noticeable corn like malt sweetness. The hops character is more pronounced but still lacking.
The mouthfeel is a bit thick for the style. Carbonation is ok and helps it somewhat.

Decent flavor and easy mouthfeel. Metallic aftertaste kind turns me off of it. Decent head that hangs around for a while but bot quite long enough.

The beer is a pale straw and very clear with a lot or carbonation. The head was frothy for a while but thinned out. The beer has a nice wheat and hay smell to it. The beer has a mild grassy taste to it. The beer is nice and very drinkable

Nice straw color with a sustained head and even lacing going down. Refreshingly light hop bitterness and a crisp finish and good carbonation as well. Easy drinker with low alcohol. Good summer beer.
