12oz glass at the newly opened brewery taproom. How the fuck does a BA from Michigan care to know about the offerings here, just wondering?

This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with one hefty finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some decent streaky and sticky lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, some hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus peel, a damp minerality, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its workaday frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time on this shopping-heavy Saturday afternoon. It finishes trending dry, the hop bitterness predominating.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, especially coming as my first exposure to this nascent brewing concern. Crisp, easy to throw back on, as mentioned, a busy afternoon - not just at the malls, but in the taproom as well.
