Pours a cloudy yellow brew, expected a clearer brew.

Smell is very malty and grassy with a mild spicy scent to it.

Taste is a little sweet and doughy, reminds me a bit of a wheat beer. Tastes a bit flowery and has a solid amount of bitterness.

Mouthfeel is good.

A nice drinkable brew, nothing outstanding though.

The after its emancipation from the 22 ounce brown bottle pours a smoggy light lemon yellow color with a modest bright white head that dissipates rather quickly leaving behind a thin coating of lace to obscure the glass. Nose is citrus like in its crispness, sweet malt dominates, fresh and pleasing to the senses, start is lightly sweet with a decent malt profile, and the top is light. Finish is propitious in its acidity, the hops congenial in their spiciness, droughty aftertaste, a light and drinkable beer for the desert summer as it’s a bit of a cold spell here its down to a 104 degrees.

Poured a hazy pale straw color with a medium size fluffy white head. Lots of carbonation bubbles.
Sweet and flowery aromas. Pale malt and fruit. Mild hop presence.
Very mild flavors but a nice balance of light malt, fruit and slightly spicy hops. Citrusy in the after taste.
Light body and mouthfeel with a crisp, spritzy finish.
A bit light all around for my tastes but it sure was refreshing on this 97 degree day.
