My first try from this beach town brewery.Pours into a beckera very pale lemon yellow with fluffy white crown atop that leaves a broken ring of lace behind as it settles.Almost a smokiness in the nose along with toasted grain and grass,kinda weird for the kind of beer it is.Quite yeasty and spicy and dry on the palate,grainy with a low level of citrus underneath,the spiciness and dryeness is the main component into the finish.Not a juice bomb lager wich is a good thing,very crushable.

A: Pours a relatively clear pale golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright yellow + pale yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small patches of thin film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of t he surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of bready + grainy malts with minimal amounts of sweetness and light aromas of grassy + citrus/grapefruit pith + spicy + floral hops. Light to moderate aromas of lager yeast.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of bready + grainy malts with minimal amounts of sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate aromas of lager yeast. Finally there are light flavors of grassy + citrus/grapefruit pith + spicy + floral which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which fades away leaving a clean finish.

M: Light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly refreshingly crisp mouthfeel. Very enjoyable and I could easily have quite a few of these.
