Fine light gold body, crystal clear; no lasting head, pours initially with a huge bubbly appearance then fades away completely; continued light carbonation bubbles rising throughout the drink. Very pleasing aroma; biscuit; mild fruitiness. Excellent flavor blend; esters (pear-like), a bit sweet, fine hop bitterness, light cereal grain base. Medium body; feels a little syrupy; semi-dry mouthfeel throughout.

I got this one in a crowler, so I don't know if that had any impact with the lack of semblance of a head, but this is the major defect of this beer. The smell and taste, pretty decent as is, would, I suspect, be improved greatly with some better carbonation and head retention. A good beer overall but needs work.
