On tap at brewery:
The beer is a a slightly dull golden and has a slight light-distorting body, fuzzying my finger behind the glass. That head isn't grand on the pour I got, but remained at more than a collar as the glass was drank.
Nose has a mild brew-day grain maltiness combined with the lightest fruit flowers and a very mild grassy bitterness.
Taste removes that "homebrew" note, but isn't quite as light and dry as I'd expect. But it's not far off at all, and though I may not be splitting hairs, I may be dividing a scant few of them. A light fleshy fruit aspect finds my palate before a grassy to even lightly peppery bitterness catches up before mid-taste. Some sips the bitterness gains more traction, others the fruit lingers longer.
A little more crispness or just a slight bit less sweetness would improve this beer to me. Also, cleaning up the nose a bit would probably get this close to a 4 for me. As it sits, it is a nice beer, and I wouldn't be surprised if a fair number of patrons to the taproom didn't evnjoy this just fine.
