A: Pours a very lightly hazy pale yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate straw yellow + pale lemon yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall sudsy foamy bright white head that reduces to a handful of small patches of thin film surrounded by a large patch of mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of citrus/yuzu along with some light to moderate aromas of slightly funky farmhouse yeast over the top of light to moderate aromas of grainy + pale malts with moderate amounts of toasted rice adjuncts and a light amount of grainy sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of grainy + pale malts with moderate amounts of toasted rice adjuncts and a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of slightly funky farmhouse yeast. Finally there are slightly stronger than moderate flavors of citrus/yuzu and a hint of grassy hops. Very light amounts of bitterness and a relatively clean finish.

M: Light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly soft with a light to moderate amount of dryness in the finish. Relatively clean.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly refreshing mouthfeel with a dry finish. Enjoyable with lots of yuzu and toasted rice.
