3.5/5  rDev +2.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Moderate, dense sticky white head adorns a hazy medium golden body, with scattered thick lace, and slight carbonation.

Aroma: Slightly spicy, classical wheat beer aroma, accented by bread malt notes, and mildly earthy yeast.

Taste: Moderately spicy wheat malt notes at the open, these turn mildly sweet midway through the taste, and continue to the close. Finishes with a mild herbal hop note, which lingers well past the end of the taste.

Mouth feel: Smooth and fairly full, pleasant, with a slight sting of carbonation.

Drinkability/notes: A solid, pleasant example.

Presentation: Packaged in a short twelve-ounce brown glass bottle with a twist-off crown, served in a standard Pilsener glass.
