Not sure what other reviewers were drinking. The grassy hops are definitely present in this brew, though not overpoweringly so. The color is a hefe-like hazy pale gold color. Lingering mouthfeel that's almost a little sticky. Decent aftertaste that that stays around for a while. Not an earth-shattering creation, but a solid loc
al offering.

Clear golden yellow in color. Somewhat fizzy whitish head quickly died away. Muted notes of grassy hops with undertones of grain. Flavor is way thin. Not pale-ase-ish. More of a thinly-hopped lager. Barely noted hop presence. Somewhat dry finish, with a metallic flavor in the aftertaste. Medium-low body and moderate carbonation. So-so drinkability.

A slightly hazy yellow-gold body is topped by a decent sized head of white foam. The retention is OK and it leaves some nice spotty lace. The nose is grainy with a bit of huskiness and just a touch of hops. The body is light-medium and it's crisp in the mouth with a big-bubbled, standard carbonation. The flavor delivers all that the nose promises with a mildly sweet, grainy maltiness that's well-backed by a firm bitterness and light hop flavor that leads to a dry, grainy finish. Not a bad beer at all... it's well-brewed and drinkable but lacks in that special character that puts it over the edge.
