Had this in a 6 ounce sampler glass. Appearance was quite nice, a clear light yellow. Had a bit of a head which reduced down to some lingering lacing.
Smell was decent, mainly smelled the malt and yeast.
The taste starts sweet, almost fruity. Also detected hints of spice, probably coriander. Had a hoppy finish to help balance the sweetness, keeping it from being too sweet.
Mouthfeel to me was solid. Not sure how much the carbonation added to this impression, but this beer made itself known.
I found this very drinkable, and was my favorite out of the 6 samples. I ordered a full glass of this after I finished off the sampler.

Brewed as a ReplicAle for this year's AleFest in Chicago.
Deep golden amber tone, semi-rapid carbonation. Nice lacing and head retention. Nondescript pale malt aroma, no flaws, but it could use something more.
Grainy barley, estery with some phenolic clove spice. Initial light sweetness, that fades quickly into dry hop earthiness. Full and coating mouthfeel, a bit too slick on the palate. The phenolic taste and heavier body makes this a one and done for me.
