A decent crisp beer with a medium sweetness and light body.

Looks typical clear amber poured into a pint with a standard thumbs width of foam. Smells good to me, light and floral. Would probably breach the cusp of cloy if the beer had more character, but it knows it's limits and settles well into average and drinkable.

Likewise taste is interesting without being adventurous. It hints at an interesting concept but chooses to suggest instead of delivering. Probably for the best, as I could see this idea turning into a nasty end product.

As is, I'd actually recommend this if it showed up on your doorstep. Very drinkable. Light, smooth and not overpowering. Standard.

Ordered at The Quarry in Tuchakoe, NY. Poured golden to light copper color with a 3/4 inch head that dissipated fairly quickly leaving significant lacing. Nose: just a hint of apricot/pear; palate: like a lager, but again with fruity notes, especially on the back end of swallowing. Light body and mouthfeel. Refreshing, if not very complex. Probably good for the beach.
