12 oz can into a Becher glass.
L: Pours a clear gold color with lush steady churning carbo, a 1/2 glass large bubble bath off white head that recedes to loose edge froth and skin, random bits of lacing.
S: Pastry dough, distant fruit notes of apple & pear, a hint of caramel.
T: Light fruit tastes of pear, apple, white grape, a note of caramelized malts, very gentle bitterness and tartness, a suggestion of apricot.
F: Lightly crisp and bubbly medium-light bodied mouthfeel with a medium-fast medium-dry finish.
O: A brisk and lightly fruity beer that has a bright, clean taste and retains excellent feel to the final sip. It finished a bit dry with very little aftertaste. It is excellent.

I was gifted a 6 pack of cans, lets see what we have. Poured into a pint glass, the beer is gold with a fluffy white head and decent lacing.

The beer has an aroma of grains and something floral.

The taste is pretty spot on for a blonde. Some sweetness from the malts, a bit of bread, subtle hoping adds a bit of spice and citrus. Easy drinker that would be super easy to pair with food.

The mouth has decent carbonation and is has a light enough feel that it would be easy to session.

First beer from this brewery and I would seek out more of their beers,
