Hazy, green-hued darker straw color. Modest head which leaves only a few minor spots on the glass.

Light, clean smell of the palest of malts. No yeast.

There's pumpkin spice flavor I'm getting on the initial taste -- cinnamon or nutmeg? Higher carbonation belies the neutral body, making this seem thinner than it truly is. Like the smell, no yeast flavors and no wheat. This is a light beer with a mild sourness but not very "white".

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden yellow color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades over a moderate amount of time, leaving a touch of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is big of and orange and wheat bread smell mixed with nots of lemon peel and coriander. Along with these smells comes a bit of chamomile and notes of yeast and hay.
Taste – The taste follows the nose rather well, with a base flavor or wheat and grain mixed with some orange and lemon. The chamomile and floral notes are light upfront, with them getting a bit stronger as the taste advances. The coriander follows a similar trajectory, getting strong and more pronounced on the tongue throughout the tastes. The sweet orange fades a tad throughout, only to surge at the end, and with a note of candied lemon and some yeast, one is left with a rather easy natured wheat and citrusy taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is medium in thickness with a middle of the road carbonation level, both of which suit the brews tastes and abv rather well.
Overall – A rather nice white ale overall. Nothing extraordinary for the style, but very drinkable and easy natured.
