375 ml bottle (“bottled on 091922”) poured into a Spiegelau beer tulip. Pours hazy golden yellow with a tall frothy cap of head and lingering foam. Light malt, spicy yeast, fruity phenols and soft funk. Flavor follows with cracker malt, mild yeasty funk and spice with a crisp, gently bitter finish. Light body with moderate carbonation. Clean, crisp and refreshing

This one is spot on like that Budweiser dog with the ring around his eye. Like Philip Marlowe interrogating a witness, it’s just all kinds of clean and smooth. And like Bogart when he doesn’t get his vitamin b shots, it’s not exactly overpowering. No waboom! I’m here like Robert Mitchem cold cocking a perp. No sir! This one is just kinda here, existing to be. And you know what? Raul is ok with that.

July 27th, 2015 - A lighter looking beer like the redemption is a bit of a whiplash after just having tried the stout, but I can still smell the sharp lemon-line scent on the nose. But the palate is a bit flat, with some cracker notes. More like a blonde ale, it has a hard time shining through after some of the beers here that have richer more nuanced character.

Straw with tons of carbonation and 3 fingers of white head.
Smells of Belgian yeasts, phenols, coriander and light malts.
The taste follows the nose to perfection for the style.
Light body with moderate carbonation.
I got this in San Fran, and am drinking it in Redding, Feb 3rd, 2019. Excellent rep of the style.
