Pale pastel yellow gold, slightly hazed, ample foam with a meringue texture. Drippy arcs of lacing around the glass.
Aroma is green and pungent, tropical papaya and mango, along with fresh cut dandelion greens.
Taste is on the dry and pithy side, bitter grapefruit, lemon peel, and minor earthy florals. Dry earthy aftertaste.
Light bodied, moderately bitter, ample carbonation and easy drinking. Good stuff.

16 oz can into a pilsner glass.
A: Slightly hazy very pale straw color with a half finger white head sustained from a steady stream of bubbles.
S: Sweet bready malt with some faint peach-like fruitiness.
T: Malt takes a back seat to the mild floral hop bitterness and citrus that nevertheless lingers long into the aftertaste.
F: Medium bodied and smooth.

Carried home from The Beer Temple (taproom has no masks for those of us who are double-vaccinated !)
Since I am totally inexperienced in this style (only 2 of the 747 in captivity), I'm going to talk mostly about this brewing concept hatched during the equipment/lease/sale resulting from the Covid-induced closing of Motor Row (mostly a lager micro.)
Since I am someone who believes micro-breweries are a key step in successful rejuvenation of urban neighborhoods, I'm glad to see Modern Dune (lager-focussed) team up with Duneyrr who specializes in integrating wine, cider, mead and beer. This area of the South Loop has been pitched as an Entertainment District for the Convention Center and nearby DePaul arena, but has not taken off despite a decade of pitching. So, best of luck to Motor Row 2.0.
As a business strategy, this brewing team, I'm speculating, is employing lagers (something enough drinkers already like) to generate enough cash-flow so they can experiment with integrating these three other fermented products and develop a market for them also. But, that is my guesswork. Duneyrr has started a very artistic website, as is this can of Invited Concept.
As for this IPL, I like it. Refreshing. Hops linger a bit long for a malt-head like me. But on a humid day... refreshment is good enough.
